Sparse-penalized deep neural networks estimator under weak dependence
share
We consider the nonparametric regression and the classification problems for ψ-weakly dependent processes. This weak dependence structure is more general than conditions such as, mixing, association, …. A penalized estimation method for sparse deep neural networks is performed. In both nonparametric regression and binary classification problems, we establish oracle inequalities for the excess risk of the sparse-penalized deep neural networks estimators. Convergence rates of the excess risk of these estimators are also derived. The simulation results displayed show that, the proposed estimators overall work well than the non penalized estimators.
