Abstract

Wavelet methods are used to estimate density and (auto-) regression functions that are possibly discontinuous. For stationary time series that satisfy appropriate mixing conditions, we derive mean integrated squared errors (MISEs) of wavelet-based estimators. In contrast to the case for kernel methods, the MISEs of wavelet-based estimators are not affected by the presence of discontinuities in the curves. Applications of this approach to problems of identification of nonlinear time series models are discussed.
