A Lévy process is observed at time points of distance delta until time T. We construct an estimator of the Lévy-Khinchine characteristics of the process and derive optimal rates of convergence simultaneously in T and delta. Thereby, we encompass the usual low- and high-frequency assumptions...

In this paper we study statistical inference for certain inverse problems. We go beyond mere estimation purposes and review and develop the construction of confidence intervals and confidence bands in some inverse problems, including deconvolution and the backward heat equation. Further, we...

We consider nonparametric estimation of a regression function that is identified by requiring a specified quantile of the regression error conditional on an instrumental variable to be zero. The resulting estimating equation is a nonlinear integral equation of the first kind, which generates an...

This paper concerns a new statistical approach to instrumental variables (IV) method for nonparametric structural models with additive errors. A general identifying condition of the model is proposed, based on richness of the space generated by marginal discretizations of joint density...
