Exploiting the fact that most arrival processes exhibit cyclic behaviour, we propose a simple procedure for estimating the intensity of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. The estimator is the super-resolution analogue to Shao 2010 and Shao &…

We give a non-adaptive algorithm that makes $2^{\tilde{O}(\sqrt{k\log(1/\varepsilon_2 - \varepsilon_1)})}$ queries to a Boolean function $f:\{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow \{\pm 1\}$ and distinguishes between $f$ being $\varepsilon_1$-close to some…

This paper investigates the nonparametric estimation of a heteroskedastic variance function on the sphere in a regression framework, assuming the variance belongs to a Besov regularity class. A needlet-based estimator is proposed, combining…

We consider the problem of estimating the support size of a discrete distribution whose minimum non-zero mass is at least $ \frac{1}{k}$. Under the independent sampling model, we show that the sample complexity, i.e., the minimal sample…

We construct an adaptive wavelet estimator that attains minimax near-optimal rates in a wide range of Besov balls. The convergence rates are affected only by the weakest dependence amongst the channels, and take into account both noise…
