Nonparametric optimal density estimation for censored circular data

Nicolas Conanec, Claire Lacour, Thanh Mai Pham Ngoc

We consider the problem of estimating the probability density function of a circular random variable observed under censoring. To this end, we introduce a projection estimator cons…

Is model selection possible for the -loss? PCO estimation for regression models

Claire Lacour, Pascal Massart, Vincent Rivoirard

This paper addresses the problem of model selection in the sequence model , when is sub-Gaussian, for non-euclidian loss-functions. In this model, the Penaliz…

Adaptive greedy algorithm for moderately large dimensions in kernel conditional density estimation

Minh-Lien Jeanne Nguyen, Claire Lacour, Vincent Rivoirard

This paper studies the estimation of the conditional density f (x, ) of Y i given X i = x, from the observation of an i.i.d. sample (X i , Y i) R d , i = 1,. .. , n.…

Three rates of convergence or separation via U-statistics in a dependent framework

Quentin Duchemin, Yohann De Castro, Claire Lacour

Despite the ubiquity of U-statistics in modern Probability and Statistics, their non-asymptotic analysis in a dependent framework may have been overlooked. In a recent work, a new…

Semiparametric inference for mixtures of circular data

Claire Lacour, Thanh Mai Pham Ngoc

We consider X 1 ,. .. , X n a sample of data on the circle S 1 , whose distribution is a twocomponent mixture. Denoting R and Q two rotations on S 1 , the density of the X i 's is…

Concentration inequality for U-statistics of order two for uniformly ergodic Markov chains

Quentin Duchemin, Yohann de Castro, Claire Lacour

We prove a new concentration inequality for U-statistics of order two for uniformly ergodic Markov chains. Working with bounded and -canonical kernels, we show that we can recov…
