Minimax rates of convergence for Wasserstein deconvolution with supersmooth errors in any dimension (1302.6103v3)
Published 25 Feb 2013 in math.ST and stat.TH
Abstract: The subject of this paper is the estimation of a probability measure on ${\mathbb R}d$ from data observed with an additive noise, under the Wasserstein metric of order $p$ (with $p\geq 1$). We assume that the distribution of the errors is known and belongs to a class of supersmooth distributions, and we give optimal rates of convergence for the Wasserstein metric of order $p$. In particular, we show how to use the existing lower bounds for the estimation of the cumulative distribution function in dimension one to find lower bounds for the Wasserstein deconvolution in any dimension.
