Estimating the Division Kernel of a Size-Structured Population

Statistics Theory 2016-05-20 v4 Probability Statistics Theory

Abstract

We consider a size-structured population describing the cell divisions. The cell population is described by an empirical measure and we observe the divisions in the continuous time interval [0, T ]. We address here the problem of estimating the division kernel h (or fragmentation kernel) in case of complete data. An adaptive estimator of h is constructed based on a kernel function K with a fully data-driven bandwidth selection method. We obtain an oracle inequality and an exponential convergence rate, for which optimality is considered.
