Adaptive deconvolution on the nonnegative real line

Abstract : In this paper we consider the problem of adaptive density or survival function estimation in an additive model defined by $Z = X + Y$ with $X$ independent of $Y$, when both random variables are nonnegative. We want to recover the distribution of $X$ (density or survival function) through $n$ observations of $Z$, assuming that the distribution of $Y$ is known. This issue can be seen as the classical statistical problem of deconvolution which has been tackled in many cases using Fourier-type approaches. Nonetheless, in the present case the random variables have the particularity to be $\mathbb{R}^+$ supported. Knowing that, we propose a new angle of attack by building a projection estimator with an appropriate Laguerre basis. We present upper bounds on the mean squared integrated risk of our density and survival function estimators. We then describe a nonparametric adaptive strategy for selecting a relevant projection space. The procedures are illustrated with simulated data and compared to the performances of more classical deconvolution setting using a Fourier approach.
