Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of estimating regression function with errors in variables using wavelets. We adopt a nonparametric approach in assuming that the regression function has no specific parametric form, To account for errors in covariates deconvolution is involved in the construction of a new class of linear wavelet estimators. using the wavelet characterization of Besov spaces the question of regression estimation with Besov constraint can be reduced to a problem in a space of sequences. Rates of convergence are studied over Besov function classes $B_{spq}$ using $L_2$ error measure. It is shown that the rates of convergence depend on the smoothness s of the regression function and the decay rate of characteristic function of the contaminating error.
