Moderate deviations and nonparametric inference for monotone functions
单调函数的中等偏差与非参数推断
This paper considers self-normalized limits and moderate deviations of nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators for monotone functions. We obtain their self-normalized Cramér-type moderate deviations and limit distribution theorems for the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator in the current status model and the Grenander-type estimator. As applications of the results, we present a new procedure to construct asymptotical confidence intervals and asymptotical…
