Abstract
We consider the problem of nonparametric density estimation of a random environment from the observation of a single trajectory of a random walk in this environment. We build several density estimators using the beta-moments of this distribution. Then we apply the Goldenschluger-Lepski method to select an estimator satisfying an oracle type inequality. We obtain non-asymptotic bounds for the supremum norm of these estimators that hold when the RWRE is recurrent or transient to the right. A simulation study supports our theoretical findings.
期刊介绍：
Mathematical Methods of Statistics is an is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the mathematical foundations of statistical theory. It primarily publishes research papers with complete proofs and, occasionally, review papers on particular problems of statistics. Papers dealing with applications of statistics are also published if they contain new theoretical developments to the underlying statistical methods. The journal provides an outlet for research in advanced statistical methodology and for studies where such methodology is effectively used or which stimulate its further development.
