2014 Poster

Abstract: We present two related contributions of independent interest: (1) high-probability finite sample rates for

k

-NN density estimation, and (2) practical mode estimators -- based on

k

-NN -- which attain minimax-optimal rates under surprisingly general distributional conditions.
