Estimation in nonparametric regression model with additive and multiplicative noise via Laguerre series

Abstract: We look into the nonparametric regression estimation with additive and multiplicative noise and construct adaptive thresholding estimators based on Laguerre series. The proposed approach achieves asymptotically near-optimal convergence rates when the unknown function belongs to Laguerre-Sobolev space. We consider the problem under two noise structures; (1) { i.i.d.} Gaussian errors and (2) long-memory Gaussian errors. In the { i.i.d.} case, our convergence rates are similar to those found in the literature. In the long-memory case, the convergence rates depend on the long-memory parameters only when long-memory is strong enough in either noise source, otherwise, the rates are identical to those under { i.i.d.} noise.
