摘要

We investigate non-parametric inference for the population mean function of a stochastic process when each trajectory is observed at only a few irregular time points. Working with a smoothing spline estimator in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, we develop a new maximal inequality for the underlying empirical process and derive a Bahadur representation that yields pointwise asymptotic normality. We construct a confidence intervals and a penalised likelihood-ratio test for the mean function at a fixed time point.
