Estimating the derivative of a convex density

Anevski, Dragi LU (2003) In Statistica Neerlandica 57(2). p.245-257
Abstract
We obtain a relation between the time between two bird-catchings and the total resting period of a bird, leading to the problem of estimating the derivative of a convex density. We state a fundamental result on the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a convex density. Further, we derive the optimal rate in the minimax risk sense for estimating the derivative of a convex density.
