Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of Gaussian priors
We review definitions and properties of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces attached to Gaussian variables and processes, with a view to applications in nonparametric Bayesian statistics using Gaussian priors. The rate of contraction of posterior distributions based on Gaussian priors can be described through a concentration function that is expressed in the reproducing Hilbert space. Absolute co...
متن کاملAbsolute Continuity/Singularity and Relative Entropy Properties for Probability Measures Induced by Diffusions on Infinite Time Intervals
In this paper we study mutual absolute continuity, finiteness of relative entropy and the possibility of their equivalence for probability measures on C([0,∞);Rd) induced by diffusion processes. We also determine explicit events which distinguish between two mutually singular measures in certain one-dimensional cases.
متن کاملIncomplete-information models of large economies with anonymity: Existence and uniqueness of common priors
The paper provides a speci cation of belief systems for models of large economies with anonymity in which aggregate states depend only on crosssection distributions of types. For belief systems satisfying certain conditions of mutual absolute continuity, the paper gives a necessary and su¢ cient condition for the existence of a common prior. Under the given conditions, the common prior is uniqu...
متن کاملOptimal measures and Markov transition kernels
We study optimal solutions to an abstract optimization problem for measures, which is a generalization of classical variational problems in information theory and statistical physics. In the classical problems, information and relative entropy are defined using the Kullback-Leibler divergence, and for this reason optimal measures belong to a oneparameter exponential family. Measures within such...
