In pkmon: Least-Squares Estimator under k-Monotony Constraint for Discrete Functions

Least-squares estimator under k-monotony constraint for discrete functions

Description

Description: This package implements two least-squares estimators under k-monotony constraint using a method based on the Support Reduction Algorithm from Groeneboom et al (2008). The first one is a projection estimator on the set of k-monotone discrete functions. The second one is a projection on the set of k-monotone discrete probabilities. This package provides functions to generate samples from the spline basis from Lefevre and Loisel (2013), and from mixtures of splines.
