On minimax estimation of a sparse normal mean vector
Mallows has conjectured that among distributions which are Gaussian but for occasional contamination by additive noise, the one having least Fisher information has (two-sided) geometric contamination. A very similar problem arises in estimation of a non-negative vector parameter in Gaussian white noise when it is known also that most, i.e. (1 − ǫ), components are zero. We provide a partial asym...
متن کاملMinimax Estimation of a Mean Vector
K E Y W O R D S AND PHRASES Minimax decision rule; squared error loss; Dirichlet process; compact sets; Bayes rules; isotonic regression. l . INTRODUCTION In an often cited paper, BOHLMANN (1976) has considered linear minimax estimators for the mean of a univariate distribution in a nonparametr ic setting under squared error loss. To be precise, BOHLMANN assumes that Fo(x ) is a family of C D F...
متن کاملAsymptotically 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 کاملInvariant Empirical Bayes Confidence Interval for Mean Vector of Normal Distribution and its Generalization for Exponential Family
Based on a given Bayesian model of multivariate normal with known variance matrix we will find an empirical Bayes confidence interval for the mean vector components which have normal distribution. We will find this empirical Bayes confidence interval as a conditional form on ancillary statistic. In both cases (i.e. conditional and unconditional empirical Bayes confidence interval), the empiri...
متن کاملEmpirical bayes estimation of a sparse vector of gene expression changes.
Gene microarray technology is often used to compare the expression of thousand of genes in two different cell lines. Typically, one does not expect measurable changes in transcription amounts for a large number of genes; furthermore, the noise level of array experiments is rather high in relation to the available number of replicates. For the purpose of statistical analysis, inference on the "p...
