Abstract

Let X1,...,XnX_1,...,X_nX1​,...,Xn​ be i.i.d. observations, where Xi=Yi+σZiX_i=Y_i+\sigma Z_iXi​=Yi​+σZi​ and YiY_iYi​ and ZiZ_iZi​ are independent. Assume that unobservable YYY's are distributed as a random variable UV,UV,UV, where UUU and VVV are independent, UUU has a Bernoulli distribution with probability of zero equal to ppp and VVV has a distribution function FFF with density f.f.f. Furthermore, let the random variables ZiZ_iZi​ have the standard normal distribution and let σ>0.\sigma>0.σ>0. Based on a sample X1,...,Xn,X_1,..., X_n,X1​,...,Xn​, we consider the problem of estimation of the density fff and the probability p.p.p. We propose a kernel type deconvolution estimator for fff and derive its asymptotic normality at a fixed point. A consistent estimator for ppp is given as well. Our results demonstrate that our estimator behaves very much like the kernel type deconvolution estimator in the classical deconvolution problem.
