Adaptive Confidence Bands

چکیده
We show that there do not exist adaptive confidence bands for curve estimation except under very restrictive assumptions. We propose instead to construct adaptive bands that cover a surrogate function f which is close to, but simpler than, f . The surrogate captures the significant features in f . We establish lower bounds on the width for any confidence band for f and construct a procedure that comes within a small constant factor of attaining the lower bound for finitesamples.

Locally Adaptive Confidence Bands
We develop honest and locally adaptive confidence bands for probability densities. They provide substantially improved confidence statements in case of inhomogeneous smoothness, and are easily implemented and visualized. The article contributes conceptual work on locally adaptive inference as a straightforward modification of the global setting imposes severe obstacles for statistical purposes....
متن کاملAdaptive Confidence Bands for Nonparametric Regression Functions.
A new formulation for the construction of adaptive confidence bands in non-parametric function estimation problems is proposed. Confidence bands are constructed which have size that adapts to the smoothness of the function while guaranteeing that both the relative excess mass of the function lying outside the band and the measure of the set of points where the function lies outside the band are...
متن کاملComparison Of Hyperbolic And Constant Width Simultaneous Confidence Bands in Multiple Linear Regression Under MVCS Criterion
A simultaneous confidence band gives useful information on the reasonable range of the unknown regression model. In this note, when the predictor variables are constrained to a special ellipsoidal region, hyperbolic and constant width confidence bonds for a multiple linear regression model are compared under the minimum volome confidence set (MVCS) criterion. The size of one speical an...
متن کاملAnti-concentration and honest, adaptive confidence bands
Modern construction of uniform confidence bands for nonparametric densities (and other functions) often relies on the the classical Smirnov-Bickel-Rosenblatt (SBR) condition; see, for example, Giné and Nickl (2010). This condition requires the existence of a limit distribution of an extreme value type for the supremum of a studentized empirical process (equivalently, for the supremum of a Gauss...
متن کاملConfidence Bands for ROC Curves
We address the problem of comparing the performance of classifiers. In this paper we study techniques for generating and evaluating confidence bands on ROC curves. Historically this has been done using one-dimensional confidence intervals by freezing one variable—the false-positive rate, or threshold on the classification scoring function. We adapt two prior methods and introduce a new radial s...
