Validation of the exponential assumption: the density-envelope plots for various values of the roughness penalty parameter λ. The light grey curves form the envelope to show the natural estimation variation, the black dash-dotted curve shows the exponential density which generates the simulation samples, the black solid curve is the penalized sieve density estimator obtained from the data, and the dark grey solid curve is the average of the 100 grey curves.
