Minimax rates for finite mixture estimation
Abstract
We prove that under some regularity and strong identifiability conditions, around a mixing distribution with m0 components, the optimal local minimax rate of estimation of a mixture with m components is n-1/(4(m-m0) + 2). This corrects a previous paper by Chen (1995) in The Annals of Statistics.
