Estimation of a Unimodal Distribution Function

Estimation of a Unimodal Distribution Function

This paper deals with the problem of efficiently estimating (asymptotically minimax) a distribution function when essentially nothing is known about it except that it is unimodal. The sample distribution function $F_n$ is shown to be asymptotically minimax among the family $\mathscr{E}$ of all unimodal distribution functions. Since $F_n$ does not …
