We address the problem of adaptive minimax density estimation on $bR^d$ with $bL_p$--loss on the anisotropic Nikolskii classes. We fully characterize behavior of the minimax risk for different relationships between regularity parameters and norm indexes in definitions of the functional class and of the risk. In particular, we show that there are four different regimes with respect to the behavior of the minimax risk. We develop a single estimator which is (nearly) optimal in orderover the complete scale of the anisotropic Nikolskii classes. Our estimation procedure is based on a data-driven selection of an estimator from a fixed family of kernel estimators.

We study the estimation, in Lp-norm, of density functions defined on [0,1]^d. We construct a new family of kernel density estimators that do not suffer from the so-called boundary bias problem and we propose a data-driven procedure based on the Golde
nshluger and Lepski approach that jointly selects a kernel and a bandwidth. We derive two estimators that satisfy oracle-type inequalities. They are also proved to be adaptive over a scale of anisotropic or isotropic Sobolev-Slobodetskii classes (which are particular cases of Besov or Sobolev classical classes). The main interest of the isotropic procedure is to obtain adaptive results without any restriction on the smoothness parameter.
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 gives the wor
st-case rate over standard classes of smooth densities, and we show that kernel density estimators achieve this rate. We also give oracle choices for the bandwidth and derive the fastest rate $d$ can grow with $n$ to maintain estimation consistency.
This paper studies the minimax rate of nonparametric conditional density estimation under a weighted absolute value loss function in a multivariate setting. We first demonstrate that conditional density estimation is impossible if one only requires t
hat $p_{X|Z}$ is smooth in $x$ for all values of $z$. This motivates us to consider a sub-class of absolutely continuous distributions, restricting the conditional density $p_{X|Z}(x|z)$ to not only be Holder smooth in $x$, but also be total variation smooth in $z$. We propose a corresponding kernel-based estimator and prove that it achieves the minimax rate. We give some simple examples of densities satisfying our assumptions which imply that our results are not vacuous. Finally, we propose an estimator which achieves the minimax optimal rate adaptively, i.e., without the need to know the smoothness parameter values in advance. Crucially, both of our estimators (the adaptive and non-adaptive ones) impose no assumptions on the marginal density $p_Z$, and are not obtained as a ratio between two kernel smoothing estimators which may sound like a go to approach in this problem.
Let $Omega$ be a bounded closed convex set in ${mathbb R}^d$ with non-empty interior, and let ${cal C}_r(Omega)$ be the class of convex functions on $Omega$ with $L^r$-norm bounded by $1$. We obtain sharp estimates of the $epsilon$-entropy of ${cal C
}_r(Omega)$ under $L^p(Omega)$ metrics, $1le p<rle infty$. In particular, the results imply that the universal lower bound $epsilon^{-d/2}$ is also an upper bound for all $d$-polytopes, and the universal upper bound of $epsilon^{-frac{(d-1)}{2}cdot frac{pr}{r-p}}$ for $p>frac{dr}{d+(d-1)r}$ is attained by the closed unit ball. While a general convex body can be approximated by inscribed polytopes, the entropy rate does not carry over to the limiting body. Our results have applications to questions concerning rates of convergence of nonparametric estimators of high-dimensional shape-constrained functions.
We consider the problem of estimating the predictive density of future observations from a non-parametric regression model. The density estimators are evaluated under Kullback--Leibler divergence and our focus is on establishing the exact asymptotics
of minimax risk in the case of Gaussian errors. We derive the convergence rate and constant for minimax risk among Bayesian predictive densities under Gaussian priors and we show that this minimax risk is asymptotically equivalent to that among all density estimators.
