Abstract

Minimum volume sets in classes C of subsets of the d-dimensionalEuclidean space can be used as estimators of level sets of a density. By usingempirical process theory consistency results and rates of convergence forminimum volume sets are given which depend on entropy conditions on C .The volume of the minimum volume sets itself, which can be used for robustestimation of scale, can be considered as a generalized quantile process inthe sense of Einmahl and Mason (1992). Bahadur-Kiefer approximations forgeneralized quantile processes are given which generalize classical resultson the one-dimensional quantile process. Rates of convergence of minimumvolume sets can be used to obtain Bahadur-Kiefer approximations and viceversa. A generalization of the minimum volume approach to regressionproblems and spectral analysis is presented.
