Olasal ve ağır kuyruklu hatalar altında bir regresyon fonksiyonunun tahmini. Şekil kısıtlı regresyona uygulama

Özet (abstract)

We consider a regression framework where the design points are deterministic and the errors possibly non-i.i.d. and heavy-tailed (with a moment of order p in [1,2] ). Given a class of candidate regression functions, we propose a surrogate for the classical least squares estimator (LSE). For this new estimator, we establish a nonasymptotic risk bound with respect to the absolute loss which takes the form of an oracle-type inequality. This inequality shows that our estimator possesses natural adaptation properties with respect to some elements of the class. When this class consists of monotone functions or convex functions on an interval, these adaptation properties are similar to those established in the literature for the LSE. However, unlike the LSE, we prove that our estimator remains stable with respect to a possible heteroscedasticity of the errors and may even converge at a parametric rate (up to a logarithmic factor) when the LSE is not even consistent. We illustrate the performance of this new estimator over classes of regression functions that satisfy a shape constraint: piecewise monotone, piecewise convex/concave, among other examples. The paper also contains some approximation results by splines with degrees in \{0,1\} and VC bounds for the dimensions of classes of level sets. These results may be of independent interest.
