The purpose of this paper is to show that this is not justified as the minimax risk often coincides with a g...
متن کاملRandomization Does Not Justify Logistic Regression

Neyman’s non-parametric setup is used as a benchmark. In this setup, each subject has two potential responses, one if treated and the other if untreated; only one of the two responses can be observed. Besi...
