Asymptotically minimax regret for exponential families
We study the problem of data compression, gambling and prediction of a sequence x = x1x2...xn from a certain alphabet X , in terms of regret and redundancy with respect to a general exponential family. In particular, we evaluate the regret of the Bayes mixture density and show that it asymptotically achieves their minimax values when variants of Jeffreys prior are used. Keywords— universal codi...
متن کاملInterval Estimation in Exponential Families
In this paper we consider interval estimation of the mean in the natural Exponential family with a quadratic variance function; the family comprises the binomial, Poisson, negative binomial, normal, gamma, and a sixth distribution. For the three discrete cases, the Wald confidence interval and three alternative intervals are examined by means of two term Edgeworth expansions of the coverage pro...
متن کاملAdmissible Minimax Estimation of the Signal with Known Background
Suppose that an observed count X is of the form X = B + S, where the background B and the signal S are independent Poisson random variables with parameters b and θ, b is known, but θ is not. The model arises in astronomy and high-energy physics, and some recent articles have suggested conditioning on the observed bound for B; that is, if X = n is observed, then the suggestion is to base the inf...
متن کاملTruncated Linear Minimax Estimator of a Power of the Scale Parameter in a Lower- Bounded Parameter Space
Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...
متن کاملTo “ Estimation in Exponential Families on Permutations ”
1. Proofs of main results. This section carries out the proof of all results of the main paper. Subsection 1.1 gives a brief description of the notion of permutation limits, mostly adapted from [8]. Subsection 1.2 states the large deviation principle for permutations in Theorem 1.1, and uses it to prove the results of this paper. Finally, subsection 1.3 gives a proof of Theorem 1.1 using permut...
