摘要翻译：
研究了内生回归时的非参数回归问题，这是计量经济学中一个重要的非参数工具变量回归问题，也是统计学中一个难以解决的带未知算子的不适定反问题。首先建立了一个筛子估计的超范数（一致）收敛速度的一般上界，允许内生回归和弱相关数据。这一结果给出了样条和小波最小二乘回归估计在弱相关数据和重尾误差项下的最优超范数收敛速度。这个上界也给出了I.I.D.下筛NPIV估计的超范数收敛速度。数据：对于严重不适定问题，这些速率与已知的最优$L^2$-范数速率一致，对于轻度不适定问题，这些速率比最优$L^2$-范数速率慢$\log(n)$。然后，我们建立了超模损失的极大极小风险下界，该下界与样条和小波筛NPIV估计的超模率上界一致。这种超范数最优性为筛分NPIV估计器的广泛应用提供了另一个理由。对弱相关随机矩阵也给出了有用的结果。

英文摘要：
  We study the problem of nonparametric regression when the regressor is endogenous, which is an important nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) regression in econometrics and a difficult ill-posed inverse problem with unknown operator in statistics. We first establish a general upper bound on the sup-norm (uniform) convergence rate of a sieve estimator, allowing for endogenous regressors and weakly dependent data. This result leads to the optimal sup-norm convergence rates for spline and wavelet least squares regression estimators under weakly dependent data and heavy-tailed error terms. This upper bound also yields the sup-norm convergence rates for sieve NPIV estimators under i.i.d. data: the rates coincide with the known optimal $L^2$-norm rates for severely ill-posed problems, and are power of $\log(n)$ slower than the optimal $L^2$-norm rates for mildly ill-posed problems. We then establish the minimax risk lower bound in sup-norm loss, which coincides with our upper bounds on sup-norm rates for the spline and wavelet sieve NPIV estimators. This sup-norm rate optimality provides another justification for the wide application of sieve NPIV estimators. Useful results on weakly-dependent random matrices are also provided.
