Abstract

In an effort to estimate the number of true nulls in large scale multiplicity problems (the normal means problem), we generalize the current Fourier transform based oracle estimator with a Laplace transform based estimator. Our interest in this problem stems from the application of r-power which requires knowledge of the number of nulls (Dasgupta et al. in Sankhya B 78(1):96–118, 2016). We analytically show that our method is consistent and theoretically has lower mean squared error than the existing competitor (Jin in J R Stat Soc Ser B (Stat Methodol) 70(3):461–493, 2008). We follow up by a numerical example and a simulation study that ratifies our theoretical results.
