چکیده
This report constitutes an unrefereed manuscript which is intended to be submitted for publication. Any opinions and conclusions expressed in this report are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Institute. This paper deals with Bayesian models given by statistical experiments and common types of loss functions. Probability of error of the Bayes identificator of state, and of more general types of Bayes risk are characterized by means of classical and generalized information criteria applicable to the experiment. In particular, the accuracy of the approximation is studied. A number of concrete numerical results and figures illustrate the obtained theoretical results.

Generalized information criteria for optimal Bayes decisions
This paper deals with Bayesian models given by statistical experiments and standard loss functions. Bayes probability of error and Bayes risk are estimated by means of classical and generalized information criteria applicable to the experiment. The accuracy of the estimation is studied. Among the information criteria studied in the paper is the class of posterior power entropies which includes ...
متن کاملAdaptive Bayesian Criteria in Variable Selection for Generalized Linear Models
For the problem of variable selection in generalized linear models, we develop various adaptive Bayesian criteria. Using a hierarchical mixture setup for model uncertainty, combined with an integrated Laplace approximation, we derive Empirical Bayes and Fully Bayes criteria that can be computed easily and quickly. The performance of these criteria is assessed via simulation and compared to othe...

متن کاملQuasi-convexity and optimal binary fusion for distributed detection with identical sensors in generalized Gaussian noise
In this correspondence, we present a technique to find the optimal threshold for the binary hypothesis detection problem with identical and independent sensors. The sensors all use an identical and single threshold to make local decisions, and the fusion center makes a global decision based on the local binary decisions. For generalized Gaussian noises and some non-Gaussian noise distributions,...
متن کاملUtilizing Generalized Learning Automata for Finding Optimal Policies in MMDPs
Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...
