We present a new method for doing this, involving simulation. Experiments suggest that the method provides useful estimates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-08T07:15:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J10", "62G05", "94C99" ], "keywords": [ "simulation", "deconvolution", "independent realizations", "random variables" ], "tags": [ "monograph", "journal article", "lecture notes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.1051M" } } }
