Estimation of Piecewise-smooth Functions by Amalgamated Bridge Regression Splines

چکیده
We consider nonparametric estimation of a one-dimensional piecewise-smooth function observed with white Gaussian noise on an interval. We propose a two-step estimation procedure, where one first detects jump points by a wavelet-based procedure and then estimates the function on each smooth segment separately by bridge regression splines. We prove the asymptotic optimality (in the minimax sense) of the resulting amalgamated bridge regression spline estimator and demonstrate its efficiency on simulated and real data examples.

Shape constrained estimation using nonnegative splines
We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of unknown smooth functions in the presence of restrictions on the shape of the estimator and on its support, using polynomial splines. We provide a general computational framework that treats these estimation problems in a unified manner, without the limitations of the existing methods. Applications of our approach include computing optimal s...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of piecewise smooth regression functions
Estimation of univariate regression functions from bounded i.i.d. data is considered. Estimates are deened by minimizing a complexity penalized residual sum of squares over all piecewise polynomials. The integrated squared error of these estimates achieves for piecewise p-smooth regression functions the rate (ln 2 (n)=n) 2p 2p+1 .

متن کاملOptimal N-term approximation by linear splines over anisotropic Delaunay triangulations
Anisotropic triangulations provide efficient geometrical methods for sparse representations of bivariate functions from discrete data, in particular from image data. In previous work, we have proposed a locally adaptive method for efficient image approximation, called adaptive thinning, which relies on linear splines over anisotropic Delaunay triangulations. In this paper, we prove asymptotical...
متن کاملRecovering piecewise smooth functions from nonuniform Fourier measurements
In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing piecewise smooth functions to high accuracy from nonuniform samples of their Fourier transform. We use the framework of nonuniform generalized sampling (NUGS) to do this, and to ensure high accuracy we employ reconstruction spaces consisting of splines or (piecewise) polynomials. We analyze the relation between the dimension of the recons...
