We address the problem of non-parametric density estimation under the additional constraint that only privatised data are allowed to be published and available for inference. For this purpose, we adopt a recent generalisation of classical…

Kernel estimation techniques, such as mean shift, suffer from one major drawback: the kernel bandwidth selection. The bandwidth can be fixed for all the data set or can vary at each points. Automatic bandwidth selection becomes a real…

We study the non-parametric estimation of an unknown density f with support on R+ based on an i.i.d. sample with multiplicative measurement errors. The proposed fully-data driven procedure consists of the estimation of the Mellin transform…

The problem of estimating, from a random sample of points, the dimension of a compact subset $S$ of the Euclidean space is considered. The emphasis is put on consistency results in the statistical sense. That is, statements of convergence…
