Abstract:
We consider the problem of estimating an unknown vector observed in a simple white Gaussian noise model. For the estimation, a family of projection estimators is used; the problem is to choose, based on observations, the best estimator within this family. The paper studies a method for choosing a projection estimator, based on the principle of penalized empirical risk minimization. For this estimation method, nonasymptotic inequalities controlling its quadratic risk are given.
