A class of discrepancy principles for the choice of parameters for the simplified regularization of ill-posed problems is proposed. This procedure does not require knowledge of the unknown solution, and if the smoothness of the unknown solution is known then the convergence rate obtained is optimal. The results of this paper include the Arcangeli's method considered by Groetsch and Guacaneme (1987) for which the convergence rate was not known and also of a result of Guacaneme (1988) for which there is a gap in the proof.
