A Modified Robbins-Monro Procedure Approximating the Zero of a Regression Function from Below

A Robbins-Monro type procedure for estimating the zero of a regression function is discussed. The procedure is a modification of the Robbins-Monro procedure which is designed to approximate the zero from below. An almost sure convergence is proved and it is shown that one can guarantee that the proc...

description A Robbins-Monro type procedure for estimating the zero of a regression function is discussed. The procedure is a modification of the Robbins-Monro procedure which is designed to approximate the zero from below. An almost sure convergence is proved and it is shown that one can guarantee that the procedure overestimate the zero only finitely many times with probability one.
