We consider the estimation of the slope function in functional linear
regression, where scalar responses are modeled in dependence of random
functions. Cardot and Johannes [2010] have shown that a thresholded projection
estimator can attain up to a constant minimax-rates of convergence in a general
framework which allows to cover the prediction problem with respect to the mean
squared prediction error as well as the estimation of the slope function and
its derivatives.
In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the L\'{e}vy density for
L\'{e}vy processes, with and without Brownian component. For this, we consider
$n$ discrete time observations with step $\Delta$. The asymptotic framework is:
$n$ tends to infinity, $\Delta=\Delta_n$ tends to zero while $n\Delta_n$ tends
to infinity. We use a Fourier approach to construct an adaptive nonparametric
estimator of the L\'{e}vy density and to provide a bound for the global
${\mathbb{L}}^2$-risk. Estimators of the drift and of the variance of the
Gaussian component are also studied.
Motivated by fluorescence lifetime measurements this paper considers the
problem of nonparametric density estimation in the pile-up model. Adaptive
nonparametric estimators are proposed for the pile-up model in its simple form
as well as in the case of additional measurement errors. Furthermore, oracle
type risk bounds for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) are provided.
Finally, the estimation methods are assessed by a simulation study and the
application to real fluorescence lifetime data.
We consider the problem of estimating the slope parameter in circular
functional linear regression, where scalar responses Y1,...,Yn are modeled in
dependence of 1-periodic, second order stationary random functions X1,...,Xn.
We consider an orthogonal series estimator of the slope function, by replacing
the first m theoretical coefficients of its development in the trigonometric
basis by adequate estimators.
