Abstract

Fourier expansion is considered for the deconvolution problem of estimating a probability density function when the sample observations are contaminated with random noise. In the log-Fourier method of density estimation for data without noise, the logarithm of the unknown density function is approximated by a trigonometric function, the unknown parameters of which are estimated by maximum likelihood. The log-Fourier density estimation method, which has been considered theoretically by Koo and Chung (1997), is studied for the finite-sample case with noise. Numerical examples using simulated data are given to show the performance of the log-Fourier deconvolution.
