A monotone estimate of the conditional variance function in a heteroscedastic, nonpara- metric regression model is proposed. The method is based on the application of a kernel density estimate to an unconstrained estimate of the variance function and yields an esti- mate of the inverse variance...

In this paper we are concerned with shape restricted estimation in inverse regression problems with convolution-type operator. We use increasing rearrangements to compute increasingand convex estimates from an (in principle arbitrary) unconstrained estimate of the unknown regression function. An...

In this paper, a method for estimating monotone, convex and log-concave densities is proposed. The estimation procedure consists of an unconstrained kernel estimator which is modi?ed in a second step with respect to the desired shape constraint by using monotone rearrangements. It is shown that...
