SPADES and mixture models
SPADES 稀疏密度估计与混合模型
This paper studies sparse density estimation via ℓ1 penalization (SPADES). We focus on estimation in high-dimensional mixture models and nonparametric adaptive density estimation. We show, respectively, that SPADES can recover, with high probability, the unknown components of a mixture of probability densities and that it yields minimax adaptive density estimates. These results are based on a general sparsity oracle inequality that the SPADES estimates satisfy. We offer a…
