Abstract
This paper is devoted to a nonparametric estimation of the probability θ:=P(X<Y), where X, Y are continuous univariate random variables of interest and observed with additional random errors. We focus on the case where the distributions of the random errors are unknown but symmetric around zero and can be estimated from some additional samples. Using deconvolution techniques, we propose an estimator of θ which depends on a regularization parameter. We then establish upper and lower bounds on convergence rate of the estimator under mean squared error when error densities are assumed to be supersmooth.
