Nonparametric Denoising of Signals with Unknown Local Structure, I: Oracle Inequalities
Résumé
We consider the problem of pointwise estimation of multi-dimensional signals $s$, from noisy observations $(y_\tau)$ on the regular grid $\bZd$. Our focus is on the adaptive estimation in the case when the signal can be well recovered using a (hypothetical) linear filter, which can depend on the unknown signal itself. \par The basic setting of the problem we address here can be summarized as follows: suppose that the signal $s$ is ''well-filtered'', i.e. there exists an adapted time-invariant linear filter $q^*_T$ with the coefficients which vanish outside the ''cube'' $\{0,..., T\}^d$ which recovers $s_0$ from observations with small mean-squared error. We suppose that we do not know the filter $q^*$, although, we do know that such a filter exists. We give partial answers to the following questions:
- is it possible to construct an adaptive estimator of the value $s_0$, which relies upon observations and recovers $s_0$ with basically the same estimation error as the unknown filter $q^*_T$?
- how rich is the family of well-filtered (in the above sense) signals?
