We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of unknown smooth functions in the presence of restrictions on the shape of the estimator and on its support using polynomial splines. We provide a ...

We study a nonparametric deconvolution density estimation problem. The estimator is obtained by an EM algorithm for a smoothed maximum likelihood estimation problem, which has a unique continuous ...

You thought I was going to talk about a problem that math teachers could use, didn't you? Well, maybe math teachers can use this. (note: when I say "teachers" I really mean "learning facilitators") It ...

You don’t need to be a baseball fan to know that the distance from third base to first base is a lot less than three miles. Yet that’s what several students came up with (16,200 feet to be exact) in a ...

Three school math problems have thousands of people on Facebook and Reddit talking. The reason? Even though the students' answers appear to be totally correct, they were still marked wrong. Here's one ...
