This paper presents minimax rates for density estimation when the data dimension $d$ is allowed to grow with the number of observations $n$ rather than remaining fixed as in previous analyses. We prove a non-asymptotic lower bound which…

We consider the estimation of the global mode of a density under some decay rate condition around the global mode. We show that the maximum of a histogram, with proper choice of bandwidth, achieves the minimax rate that we establish for the…
