Abstract:

We consider block thresholded wavelet-based estimators of mean regression functions with long memory Gaussian errors and investigate their asymptotic convergence rates. We show that these estimators, based on block thresholding of empirical wavelet coefficients, achieve optimal minimax convergence rates over a large range of Besov function classes. These results are analogous to those in the standard regression problem with i.i.d. Gaussian errors. Therefore, in the presence of long memory Gaussian errors, wavelet estimators still provide extensive adaptivity over a wide range of Besov classes.
