Estimation of mean residual life
W. J. Hall, Jon A. Wellner
Yang (1978) considered an empirical estimate of the mean residual life function on a fixed finite interval. She proved it to be strongly uniformly consistent and (when appropriatel…
Efron's monotonicity property for measures on
Adrien Saumard, Jon A. Wellner
First we prove some kernel representations for the covariance of two functions taken on the same random variable and deduce kernel representations for some functionals of a continu…
Convergence rates of least squares regression estimators with heavy-tailed errors
Qiyang Han, Jon A. Wellner
We study the performance of the Least Squares Estimator (LSE) in a general nonparametric regression model, when the errors are independent of the covariates but may only have a …
Bi--concave distributions
Nilanjana Laha, Jon A. Wellner
We introduce a new shape-constrained class of distribution functions on R, the bi--concave class. In parallel to results of Dümbgen, Kolesnyk, and Wilke (2017) for what they c…
The Bennett-Orlicz norm
Jon A. Wellner
Lederer and van de Geer (2013) introduced a new Orlicz norm, the Bernstein-Orlicz norm, which is connected to Bernstein type inequalities. Here we introduce another Orlicz norm, th…
