Finite-Sample Bounds on the Accuracy of Plug-In Estimators of Fisher Information
Finite-sample bounds on the accuracy of Bhattacharya’s plug-in estimator for Fisher information are derived. These bounds are further improved by introducing a clipping step that allows for better control over the score function.

Adaptive Estimation of Nonparametric Functionals
We provide general adaptive upper bounds for estimating nonparametric functionals based on second order U-statistics arising from finite dimensional approximation of the infinite dimensional models. We then provide examples of functionals for which the theory produces rate optimally matching adaptive upper and lower bounds.

Adaptive Reduction of Curse of Dimensionality in Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Estimation
Nonparametric estimation of instrumental variable treatment effects typically builds on various nonparametric identification results. However, these estimators often face challenges from the curse of dimensionality in practice, as multi-dimensional ...

Optimal designs for testing the functional form of a regression via nonparametric estimation techniques [PDF]
For the problem of checking linearity in a heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model under a fixed design assumption we study maximin designs which maximize the minimum power of a nonparametric test over a broad class of alternatives from the ...

Bias Adjustment for a Nonparametric Entropy Estimator
Zhang in 2012 introduced a nonparametric estimator of Shannon’s entropy, whose bias decays exponentially fast when the alphabet is finite. We propose a methodology to estimate the bias of this estimator.

Nonparametric Estimation of Range Value at Risk
Range value at risk (RVaR) is a quantile-based risk measure with two parameters. As special examples, the value at risk (VaR) and the expected shortfall (ES), two well-known but competing regulatory risk measures, are both members of the RVaR family. The

Nonparametric Regression Estimation for Circular Data
Non-parametric regression with a circular response variable and a unidimensional linear regressor is a topic which was discussed in the literature.
