In this dissertation, we consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of a k-monotone density on (0,∞) for a fixed integer k > 0 via the methods of Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Least Squares (LS). In the introduction, we present the original question that motivated us to look into this problem and also put other existing results in our general framework. In Chapter 2, we study the MLE and LSE of a k-monotone density based on n i.i.d. observations. Here, our study of the estimation problem is local in the sense that we only study the estimator and its derivatives at a fixed point x_0. Under some specific working assumptions, asymptotic minimax lower bounds for estimating g^{(j)}_0 (x_0), j=1,...,k-1, are derived. These bounds show that th...
