Abstract

This paper focuses on the density estimation problem that occurs when the sample is negatively associated and biased. We constructed a block thresholding wavelet estimator to recover the density function from the negatively associated biased sample. The pointwise optimality of this wavelet density estimation is shown as L p ( 1 ≤ p < ∞ ) risks over Besov space. To validate the effectiveness of the block thresholding wavelet method, we provide some examples and implement the numerical simulations. The results indicate that our block thresholding wavelet density estimator is superior in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) when comparing with the nonlinear wavelet density estimator.
