Editorial: Special issue on “Nonparametric inference under shape constraints”. (English) Zbl 1407.00039
From the text: This unprecedented growth has signalled the need for a special issue on shape-constrained statistical methods and, as Guest Editors, we hope that it will serve as a gateway to this exciting field of research. We have eight articles, as well as one conversation piece, written by experts in their respective sub-fields that showcase the main shape-constrained models of interest, a variety of applications of such models, and the major recent theoretical, methodological and computational advances in some of these problems.
