Local polynomial density ratio estimation
Hajo Holzmann, Alexander Meister
We propose a novel local-polynomial estimator of the ratio of two -dimensional densities and , from which independent samples are available. The estimator is show…
Testing for linearity in boundary regression models with application to maximal life expectancies
Jürgen Kampf, Alexander Meister
We consider a regression model with errors that are a.s. negative. Thus the regression function is not the expected value of the observations but the right endpoint of their suppor…
Nonparametric density estimation for intentionally corrupted functional data
Aurore Delaigle, Alexander Meister
We consider statistical models where functional data are artificially contaminated by independent Wiener processes in order to satisfy privacy constraints. We show that the corrupt…
Rate-optimal nonparametric estimation for random coefficient regression models
Hajo Holzmann, Alexander Meister
Random coefficient regression models are a popular tool for analyzing unobserved heterogeneity, and have seen renewed interest in the recent econometric literature. In this paper w…
Strong Gaussian approximation of the mixture Rasch model
Friedrich Liese, Alexander Meister, Johanna Kappus
We consider the famous Rasch model, which is applied to psychometric surveys when n persons under test answer m questions. The score is given by a realization of a random binary (n…
Optimal classification and nonparametric regression for functional data
Alexander Meister
We establish minimax convergence rates for classification of functional data and for nonparametric regression with functional design variables. The optimal rates are of logarithmic…
