We discuss nonparametric estimation of the distribution function $G(x)$ of the autoregressive coefficient $a \in (-1,1)$ from a panel of $N$ random-coefficient AR(1) data, each of length $n$, by the empirical distribution function of lag 1…
In this paper, we study the behavior of a kernel estimator of the regression function in the right censored model with $\alpha$-mixing data . The uniform strong consistency over a real compact set of the estimate is established along with a…
The ever-growing size of the datasets renders well-studied learning techniques, such as Kernel Ridge Regression, inapplicable, posing a serious computational challenge. Divide-and-conquer is a common remedy, suggesting to split the dataset…
We develop a unified framework for nonparametric functional estimation based on kernel transport along orbits of discrete group actions, which we term \emph{Twin Spaces}. Given a base kernel $K$ and a group $G = \langle\varphi\rangle$…
We introduce a new class of fully nonlinear integro-differential operators with possible nonsymmetric kernels, which includes the ones that arise from stochastic control problems with purely jump L\`evy processes. If the index of the…
Let $d\ge1$ and $0<\alpha<2$. Consider the integro-differential operator \[ \mathcal{L}f(x) =\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}\backslash\{0\}}\left[f(x+h)-f(x)-\chi_{\alpha}(h)\nabla f(x)\cdot…
A nonparametric kernel density estimator for directional-linear data is introduced. The proposal is based on a product kernel accounting for the different nature of both (directional and linear) components of the random vector. Expressions…
In this paper, we establish weak consistency and asymptotic normality of an M-estimator of the regression function for left truncated and right censored (LTRC) model, where it is assumed that the observations form a stationary alpha-mixing…
Motivated by modeling and analysis of mass-spectrometry data, a semi- and nonparametric model is proposed that consists of a linear parametric component for individual location and scale and a nonparametric regression function for the…
We provide a new method to approximate a (possibly discontinuous) function using Christoffel-Darboux kernels. Our knowledge about the unknown multivariate function is in terms of finitely many moments of the Young measure supported on the…
We introduce a kernel estimator, to the tail index of a right-censored Pareto-type distribution, that generalizes Worms's one (Worms and Worms, 2014)in terms of weight coefficients. Under some regularity conditions, the asymptotic normality…
We study optimal procedures for estimating a linear functional based on observational data. In many problems of this kind, a widely used assumption is strict overlap, i.e., uniform boundedness of the importance ratio, which measures how…
Kernels of $\alpha$-permanental processes of the form \[ v(x,y)=u(x,y)+f(y),\qquad x,y\in S, \] in which $u(x,y)$ is symmetric, and $f$ is an excessive function for the Borel right process with potential densities $u(x,y)$, are considered.…
We establish the asymptotic normality of the kernel type estimator for the regression function constructed from quasi-associated data when the explanatory variable takes its values in a separable Hilbert space.
The performance of kernel density estimators is usually studied via Taylor expansions and asymptotic approximation arguments, in which the bandwidth parameter tends to zero with increasing sample size. In contrast, this paper focusses…
A spectral mixture (SM) kernel is a flexible kernel used to model any stationary covariance function. Although it is useful in modeling data, the learning of the SM kernel is generally difficult because optimizing a large number of…
We study kernel-based estimation of nonparametric time-varying parameters (TVPs) in linear models. Our contributions are threefold. First, we establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the kernel-based estimator for a broad class of…
This thesis is devoted to asymptotic norm estimates for oscillatory integral operators acting on the L^2 space of functions of one real variable. The operators in question have compact support and an oscillatory kernel of the form exp(i…
Random Fourier Features (RFF) demonstrate wellappreciated performance in kernel approximation for largescale situations but restrict kernels to be stationary and positive definite. And for non-stationary kernels, the corresponding RFF could…
We construct a kernel density estimator on symmetric spaces of non-compact type and establish an upper bound for its convergence rate, analogous to the minimax rate for classical kernel density estimators on Euclidean space. Symmetric…
