New method advances density estimation for Hellinger distance

Researchers have developed a new method for density estimation, extending the minimum-distance estimator approach to Hellinger distance. This technique allows for the creation of near-linear time algorithms with near-optimal sample complexity for learning classes of densities, including univariate mixtures of log-concave densities and mixtures of Gaussians.

    Density estimation for Hellinger via minimum-distance estimators: mixtures of Gaussians, log-concave, and more

    arXiv:2606.11469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the task of density estimation, where we hope to accurately estimate a probability density from $n$ samples. A textbook method for density estimation in total variation distance is the minimum-distance estimator approach,…
