Estimation suroptimale de la densité par projection

Superefficiency of a projection density estimator The author constructs a projection density estimator with a data‐driven truncation index. This estimator reaches the superoptimal rates 1/ n in mean integrated square error and {In ln( n / n } 1/2 in uniform almost sure convergence over a given subspace which is dense in the class of all possible densities; the rate of the estimator is quasi‐optimal everywhere else. The subspace in question may be chosen a priori by the statistician.
