Abstract:In this paper, the estimation of a scalar parameter is considered with given lower and upper bounds of the scalar regressor. We derive non-asymptotic, lower and upper bounds on the convergence rates of the parameter estimate variances of the central and the minimax algorithms for noise probability density functions characterized by a thin tail distribution. This presents an extension of the previous work for constant scalar regressors to arbitrary scalar regressors with magnitude constraints. We expect our res… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
