Abstract

We show that a nonparametric estimator of a regression function, obtained as solution of a specific regularization problem is the best linear unbiased predictor in some nonparametric mixed effect model. Since this estimator is intractable from a numerical point of view, we propose a tight approximation of it easy and fast to implement. This second estimator achieves the usual optimal rate of convergence of the mean integrated squared error over a Sobolev class both for equispaced and nonequispaced design. Numerical experiments are presented both on simulated and ERP real data.
