The following heteroscedastic regression model Yi = g（xi） ＋σiei （1 ≤i ≤ n） is 2 considered, where it is assumed that σi^2 = f（ui）, the design points （xi,ui） are known and nonrandom, g and f are unknown functions. Under the unobservable disturbance ei form martingale differences, the asymptotic normality of wavelet estimators of g with f being known or unknown function is studied.

On the LP-Consistency of Wavelet Estimators

This paper deals with the LP-consistency of wavelet estimators for a density function based on size-biased random samples. More precisely, we firstly show the LP-consistency of wavelet estimators for independent and identically distributed random vectors in Rd. Then a similar result is obtained for negatively associated samples under the additional assumptions d = 1 and the monotonicity of the weight function.

ASYMPTOTIC NORMALITY OF WAVELET ESTIMATOR IN HETEROSCEDASTIC MODEL WITH α-MIXING ERRORS

Consider heteroscedastic regression model Yni= g（xni） ＋ σniεni （1 〈 i 〈 n）, where σ2ni= f（uni）, the design points （xni, uni） are known and nonrandom, g（.） and f（.） are unknown functions defined on closed interval [0, 1], and the random errors （εni, 1 ≤i≤ n） axe assumed to have the same distribution as （ξi, 1 ≤ i ≤ n）, which is a stationary and a-mixing time series with Eξi =0. Under appropriate conditions, we study asymptotic normality of wavelet estimators of g（.） and f（.）. Finite sample behavior of the estimators is investigated via simulations, too.

Under appropriate conditions, the authors study the asymptotic normality for wavelet estimators ofβ and g（·）. A simulation study is undertaken to investigate finite sample behavior of the estimators.

Convergence Rates of Wavelet Estimators in Semiparametric Regression Models Under NA Samples

Consider the following heteroscedastic semiparametric regression model：where {Xi, 1 〈 i 〈 n} are random design points, errors {ei, 1 〈 i 〈 n} are negatively associated （NA） random variables, （r2 = h（ui）, and {ui} and {ti} are two nonrandom sequences on [0, 1]. Some wavelet estimators of the parametric component β, the non- parametric component g（t） and the variance function h（u） are given. Under some general conditions, the strong convergence rate of these wavelet estimators is O（n- 1 log n）. Hence our results are extensions of those re, sults on independent random error settings.

Asymptotic Properties of Wavelet Estimators in Partially Linear Errors-in-variables Models with Long-memory Errors

While the random errors are a function of Gaussian random variables that are stationary and long dependent, we investigate a partially linear errors-in-variables（EV） model by the wavelet method. Under general conditions, we obtain asymptotic representation of the parametric estimator, and asymptotic distributions and weak convergence rates of the parametric and nonparametric estimators. At last, the validity of the wavelet method is illuminated by a simulation example and a real example.

Consider a semiparametric regression model Y_i=X_iβ＋g（t_i）＋e_i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, where Y_i is censored on the right by another random variable C_i with known or unknown distribution G. The wavelet estimators of parameter and nonparametric part are given by the wavelet smoothing and the synthetic data methods. Under general conditions, the asymptotic normality for the wavelet estimators and the convergence rates for the wavelet estimators of nonparametric components are investigated. A numerical example is given.

ON THE CONSISTENCY OF CROSS-VALIDATIONIN NONLINEAR WAVELET REGRESSION ESTIMATION

For the nonparametric regression model Y-ni = g(x(ni)) + epsilon(ni)i = 1, ..., n, with regularly spaced nonrandom design, the authors study the behavior of the nonlinear wavelet estimator of g(x). When the threshold and truncation parameters are chosen by cross-validation on the everage squared error, strong consistency for the case of dyadic sample size and moment consistency for arbitrary sample size are established under some regular conditions.

Phase estimation in bispectral domain based on conformal mapping and applications in seismic wavelet estimation

Seismic wavelet estimation is an important part of seismic data processing and interpretation, whose preciseness is directly related to the results of deconvolution and inversion. Wavelet estimation based on higher-order spectra is an important new method. However, the higher-order spectra often have phase wrapping problems, which lead to wavelet phase spectrum deviations and thereby affect mixed-phase wavelet estimation. To solve this problem, we propose a new phase spectral method based on conformal mapping in the bispectral domain. The method avoids the phase wrapping problems by narrowing the scope of the Fourier phase spectrum to eliminate the bispectral phase wrapping influence in the original phase spectral estimation. The method constitutes least-squares wavelet phase spectrum estimation based on conformal mapping which is applied to mixed-phase wavelet estimation with the least-squares wavelet amplitude spectrum estimation. Theoretical model and actual seismic data verify the validity of this method. We also extend the idea of conformal mapping in the bispectral wavelet phase spectrum estimation to trispectral wavelet phase spectrum estimation.

Wavelet estimation by matching well-log,VSP,and surfaceseismic data

In this paper,we present a method of wavelet estimation by matching well-log, VSP,and surface-seismic data.It＇s based on a statistical model in which both input and output are contaminated with additive random noise.A coherency matching technique is used to estimate the wavelet.Measurements of goodness-of-fit and accuracy provide tools for quality control.A practical example suggests that our method is robust and stable.The matching and estimation of the wavelet is reliable within the seismic bandwidth.This method needs no assumption on the wavelet amplitude and phase and the main advantage of the method is its ability to determine phase.

Asymptotic Normality of Wavelet Density Estimator under Censored Dependent Observations

In this paper, we discuss the asymptotic normality of the wavelet estimator of the density function based on censored data, when the survival and the censoring times form a stationary α-mixing sequence. To simulate the distribution of estimator such that it is easy to perform statistical inference for the density function, a random weighted estimator of the density function is also constructed and investigated. Finite sample behavior of the estimator is investigated via simulations too.

Wavelet linear estimations of density derivatives from a negatively associated stratified size-biased sample

We define a wavelet linear estimator for density derivative in Besov space based on a negatively associated stratified size-biased random sample. We provide two upper bounds of wavelet estimations on L^p （1 ≤ p 〈 ∞） risk.

Wavelet estimations for density derivatives

Donoho et al. in 1996 have made almost perfect achievements in wavelet estimation for a density function f in Besov spaces Bsr,q(R). Motivated by their work, we define new linear and nonlinear wavelet estimators flin,nm, fnonn,m for density derivatives f(m). It turns out that the linear estimation E(‖flinn,m-f(m)‖p) for f(m) ∈ Bsr,q(R) attains the optimal when r≥ p, and the nonlinear one E(‖fnonn,m-f(m)‖p) does the same if r≤p/2(s+m)+1 . In addition, our method is applied to Sobolev spaces with non-negative integer exponents as well.

Wavelet Estimation in Heteroscedastic Model Under Censored Samples

Consider the heteroscedastic regression model Yi = g（xi） ＋ σiei, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, where σi^2 = f（ui）, here （xi, ui） being fixed design points, g and f being unknown functions defined on [0, 1], ei being independent random errors with mean zero. Assuming that Yi are censored randomly and the censored distribution function is known or unknown, we discuss the rates of strong uniformly convergence for wavelet estimators of g and f, respectively. Also, the asymptotic normality for the wavelet estimators of g is investigated.

Bootstrap Approximation of Wavelet Estimates in a Semiparametric Regression Model

The inference for the parameters in a semiparametric regression model is studied by using the wavelet and the bootstrap methods. The bootstrap statistics are constructed by using Efron＇s resampling technique, and the strong uniform convergence of the bootstrap approximation is proved. Our results can be used to construct the large sample confidence intervals for the parameters of interest. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the finite-sample performance of the bootstrap method and to compare it with the normal approximation-based method.

Nonlinear wavelet estimation of regression function with random desigm

The nonlinear wavelet estimator of regression function with random design is constructed. The optimal uniform convergence rate of the estimator in a ball of Besov spaceB 3 p,q is proved under quite general assumpations. The adaptive nonlinear wavelet estimator with near-optimal convergence rate in a wide range of smoothness function classes is also constructed. The properties of the nonlinear wavelet estimator given for random design regression and only with bounded third order moment of the error can be compared with those of nonlinear wavelet estimator given in literature for equal-spaced fixed design regression with i.i.d. Gauss error.

Supersmooth density estimations over L^p risk by wavelets

This paper studies wavelet estimations for supersmooth density functions with additive noises. We first show lower bounds of Lprisk(1 p < ∞) with both moderately and severely ill-posed noises. Then a Shannon wavelet estimator provides optimal or nearly-optimal estimations over Lprisks for p 2, and a nearly-optimal result for 1 < p < 2 under both noises. In the nearly-optimal cases, the ratios of upper and lower bounds are determined. When p = 1, we give a nearly-optimal estimation with moderately ill-posed noise by using the Meyer wavelet. Finally, the practical estimators are considered. Our results are motivated by the work of Pensky and Vidakovic(1999), Butucea and Tsybakov(2008), Comte et al.(2006), Lacour(2006) and Lounici and Nickl(2011).
