Minimax Density Estimation on Sobolev Spaces With Dominating Mixed Smoothness.

We study minimax density estimation on the product space $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}\times\mathbb{R}^{d_2}$. We consider $L^p$-risk for probability density functions defined over regularity spaces that allow for different level of smoothness in each of the variables. Precisely, we study probabilities on Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed-smoothness. We provide the rate of convergence that is optimal even for the classical Sobolev spaces.
