摘要
We propose a new nonparametric regression estimate. In contrast to the traditional approach of considering regression functions whose m th derivatives lie in a ball in the L-infinity or L2 norm, we consider the class of functions whose (m - 1)st derivative consists of at most k monotone pieces. For many applications this class seems more natural than the classical ones. The least squares estimator of this class is studied. It is shown that the speed of convergence is as fast as in the classical case.
