Frequentist Optimality of Bayes Factor Estimators in Wavelet Regression Models
We investigate the theoretical performance of Bayes factor estimators in wavelet regression models with independent and identically distributed errors that are not necessarily normally distributed. We compare these estimators in terms of their frequentist optimality in Besov spaces for a wide variety of error and prior distributions. Furthermore, we provide sufficient conditions that determine ...
متن کاملBayes-Optimal Sequential Multi-Hypothesis Testing in Exponential Families
Bayesian sequential testing of multiple simple hypotheses is a classical sequential decision problem. But the optimal policy is computationally intractable in general, because the posterior probability space is exponentially increasing in the number of hypotheses (i.e, the curse of dimensionality in state space). We consider a specialized problem in which observations are drawn from the same ex...
متن کاملEstimators, Escort Probabilities, and Φ-exponential Families in Statistical Physics
The lower bound of Cramér and Rao is generalized to pairs of families of probability distributions, one of which is escort to the other. This bound is optimal for certain families, called φ-exponential in the paper. Their dual structure is explored. They satisfy a variational principle with respect to an appropriately chosen entropy functional, which is the dual of a free energy functional.
متن کاملSMML estimators for exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics
The minimum message length principle is an information theoretic criterion that links data compression with statistical inference. This paper studies the strict minimum message length (SMML) estimator for d-dimensional exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics, for all d. The partition of an SMML estimator is shown to consist of convex polytopes (i.e. convex polygons when d = 2...
متن کاملUnbiasedness and Bayes Estimators
A simple geometric representation of Bayes and unbiased rules for squared error loss is provided. Some orthogonality relationships between them and the functions they are estimating are proved. Bayes estimators are shown to be behave asymptotically like unbiased estimators.
