Density Estimation with Normal Measurement Error with Unknown Variance
Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of estimating a density based on observations which are contaminated by a normally distributed error whose variance is unknown. In the case of a completely unknown error variance, the impossibility of a uniformly consistent estimation is shown; however, a semi-uniformly consistent estimator is constructed under nonparametric smoothness conditions on t...
متن کاملEstimation of AR Parameters in the Presence of Additive Contamination in the Infinite Variance Case
If we try to estimate the parameters of the AR process {Xn} using the observed process {Xn+Zn} then these estimates will be badly biased and not consistent but we can minimize the damage using a robust estimation procedure such as GM-estimation. The question is does additive contamination affect estimates of “core” parameters in the infinite variance case to the same extent that it does in the ...
متن کاملSimultaneous Monitoring of Multivariate Process Mean and Variability in the Presence of Measurement Error with Linearly Increasing Variance under Additive Covariate Model (RESEARCH NOTE)
In recent years, some researches have been done on simultaneous monitoring of multivariate process mean vector and covariance matrix. However, the effect of measurement error, which exists in many practical applications, on the performance of these control charts is not well studied. In this paper, the effect of measurement error with linearly increasing variance on the performance of ELR contr...
متن کاملDensity estimation in the presence of heteroskedastic measurement error
We consider density estimation when the variable of interest is subject to heteroskedastic measurement error. The density is assumed to have a smooth but unknown functional form which we model with a penalized mixture of B-splines. We treat the situation where multiple mismeasured observations of each of the variables of interest are observed for at least some of the subjects, and the measureme...
متن کاملHigh dimensional matrix estimation with unknown variance of the noise
Assume that we observe a small set of entries or linear combinations of entries of an unknown matrix A0 corrupted by noise. We propose a new method for estimating A0 which does not rely on the knowledge or an estimation of the standard deviation of the noise σ. Our estimator achieves, up to a logarithmic factor, optimal rates of convergence under the Frobenius risk and, thus, has the same predi...
