Optimal Demixing of Nonparametric Densities

Motivated by applications in statistics and machine learning, we consider a problem of unmixing convex combinations of nonparametric densities. Suppose we observe $n$ groups of samples, where the $i$th group consists of $N_i$ independent samples from a $d$-variate density $f_i(x)=\sum_{k=1}^K π_i(k)g_k(x)$. Here, each $g_k(x)$ is a nonparametric density, and each $π_i$ is a $K$-dimensional mixed membership vector. We aim to estimate $g_1(x), \ldots,g_K(x)$. This problem generalizes topic modelin
