Abstract

Let (Xi)i1(X_i)_{i\geq 1} be an i.i.d. sample on \RRRd\RRR^d having density ff. Given a real function ϕ\phi on \RRRd\RRR^d with finite variation and given an integer valued sequence (jn)(j_n), let \fn\fn denote the estimator of ff by wavelet projection based on ϕ\phi and with multiresolution level equal to jnj_n. We provide exact rates of almost sure convergence to 0 of the quantity supxH\fn(x)\EEE(\fn)(x)\sup_{x\in H}\mid \fn(x)-\EEE(\fn)(x)\mid, when n2djn/logn\rarn2^{-dj_n}/\log n \rar \infty and HH is a given hypercube of \RRRd\RRR^d. We then show that, if n2djn/logn\rarcn2^{-dj_n}/\log n \rar c for a constant c>0c>0, then the quantity supxH\fn(x)f\sup_{x\in H}\mid \fn(x)-f\mid almost surely fails to converge to 0.
