On the Convergence Rate of Good-Turing Estimators
Good-Turing adjustments of word frequencies are an important tool in natural language modeling. In particular, for any sample of words, there is a set of words not occuring in tha...

Nonparametric Estimation of Transfer Functions: Rates of Convergence and Adaptation
Abstract— The paper deals with estimating transfer functions of stable linear time-invariant systems under stochastic assumptions. We adopt a nonparametric minimax approach for m...

On the Rate of Convergence of the Bagged Nearest Neighbor Estimate
Bagging is a simple way to combine estimates in order to improve their performance. This method, suggested by Breiman in 1996, proceeds by resampling from the original data set, c...

Rates of convergence for Quicksort
The normalized number of key comparisons needed to sort a list of randomly permuted items by the Quicksort algorithm is known to converge in distribution. We identify the rate of ...

Convergence analysis of a covolume scheme for Maxwell's equations in three dimensions
This paper contains error estimates for covolume discretizations of Maxwell’s equations in three space dimensions. Several estimates are proved. First, an estimate for a semi-dis...
