NONPARAMETRIC ESTIMATION BY CONVEX PROGRAMMING

Abstract
En 中文
The problem we concentrate on is as follows: given (1) a convex compact set X in R-n, an affine mapping x bar right arrow A(x), a parametric family {p(mu)(.)} of probability densities and (2) N i.i.d. observations of the random variable omega, distributed with the density p(A(x)) (.) for some (unknown) x is an element of X, estimate the value g(T)x of a given linear form at x. For several families {p(mu)(.)} with no additional assumptions on X and A, we develop computationally efficient estimation routines which are minimax optimal, within an absolute constant factor. We then apply these routines to recovering x itself in the Euclidean norm.
