Statistics Seminar: Autin -- Maxiset approach in nonparametric statistics
The goal of this talk is to present the maxiset point of view
that appears as an alternative to the minimax and the practical approaches
when we want to perform a comparison between estimation procedures in a
non parametric setting. Many recent results and a discussion on the
advantages of this new approach will be presented.
