Asymptotically minimax Bayes predictive densities
fθ log (fθ/f̂) is used to examine various ways of choosing prior distributions; the principal type of choice studied is minimax. We seek asymptotically least favorable predictive densities for which the corresponding asymptotic risk is minimax. A result resembling Stein’s paradox for estimating normal means by the maximum likelihood holds for the uniform prior in the multivariate location family...
متن کاملImproved Minimax Predictive Densities under Kullback – Leibler Loss
Let X|μ∼Np(μ,vxI ) and Y |μ∼Np(μ,vyI ) be independent p-dimensional multivariate normal vectors with common unknown mean μ. Based on only observing X = x, we consider the problem of obtaining a predictive density p̂(y|x) for Y that is close to p(y|μ) as measured by expected Kullback–Leibler loss. A natural procedure for this problem is the (formal) Bayes predictive density p̂U(y|x) under the unif...
متن کاملAsymptotically minimax regret by Bayes mixtures - Information Theory, 1998. Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Symposium on
We study the problem of data compression, gambling and prediction of a sequence zn = z1z2 ... z, from a certain alphabet X , in terms of regret [4] and redundancy with respect to a general exponential family, a general smooth family, and also Markov sources. In particular, we show that variants of Jeffreys mixture asymptotically achieve their minimax values. These results are generalizations of...
متن کاملAsymptotically Minimax Robust Hypothesis Testing
The design of asymptotically minimax robust hypothesis testing is formalized for the Bayesian and Neyman-Pearson tests of Type I and II. The uncertainty classes based on the KL-divergence, αdivergence, symmetrized α-divergence, total variation distance, as well as the band model, moment classes and p-point classes are considered. It is shown with a counterexample that minimax robust tests do no...
متن کاملMinimax Bayes, asymptotic minimax and sparse wavelet priors
Pinsker(1980) gave a precise asymptotic evaluation of the minimax mean squared error of estimation of a signal in Gaussian noise when the signal is known a priori to lie in a compact ellipsoid in Hilbert space. This `Minimax Bayes' method can be applied to a variety of global non-parametric estimation settings with parameter spaces far from ellipsoidal. For example it leads to a theory of exact...
