Abstract
We study minimax-rate adaptive estimation for density classes indexed by continuous hyper-parameters. The classes are assumed to be partially ordered in terms of inclusion relationship. Under a mild condition on the minimax risks, we show that a minimax-rate adaptive estimator can be constructed for the classes
