Abstract: Linear and nonlinear wavelet estimators of the density of components of a mixture are considered in the paper. The rate of convergence in the uniform metric and large deviation probabilities are obtained for linear estimators. The limit behavior of the threshold-based estimator is considered for the integral metric. An adaptive modification of the threshold-based estimator is constructed.
