The Demand for Enhanced Annuities
In enhanced annuities, the annuity payment depends on one’s state of health at some contracted date while in ”standard annuities”, it does not. The focus of this paper is on an annuity market where ”standard” and enhanced annuities are offered simultaneously. When all insured know equally well on their future health status either enhanced annuities drive standard annuities out of the market or ...
متن کاملRate-optimal Meta Learning of Classification Error
Meta learning of optimal classifier error rates allows an experimenter to empirically estimate the intrinsic ability of any estimator to discriminate between two populations, circumventing the difficult problem of estimating the optimal Bayes classifier. To this end we propose a weighted nearest neighbor (WNN) graph estimator for a tight bound on the Bayes classification error; the Henze-Penros...
متن کاملOptimal Sensor Placement and Enhanced Sparsity for Classification
The goal of compressive sensing is efficient reconstruction of data from few measurements, sometimes leading to a categorical decision. If only classification is required, reconstruction can be circumvented and the measurements needed are orders-of-magnitude sparser still. We define enhanced sparsity as the reduction in number of measurements required for classification over reconstruction. In ...
متن کاملModified Rate-Distortion Function with Optimal Classification for Wavelet Coding
In this paper, we present a wavelet transform based coding approach by employing modiied rate-distortion function and hybrid optimum classiication. In the proposed approach, each upper band subimage from wavelet decomposition is optimally classiied to achieve the minimum quantization error, according to an eecient prediction model and a modiied rate-distortion function. The performance of the a...
متن کاملOptimal Rate Allocation for Joint Compression and Classification in JPEG2000
We present a framework for optimal rate allocation to image subbands to minimize the distortion in the joint compression and classification of JPEG2000-compressed images. The distortion due to compression is defined as a weighted linear combination of the mean-square error (MSE) and the loss in the Bhattacharyya distance (BD) between the class-conditional distributions of the classes. Lossy com...
