Model Confidence Set Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence Distance
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Consider the problem of estimating true density, h(.) based upon a random sample X1,…, Xn. In general, h(.)is approximated using an appropriate in some sense, see below) model fƟ(x). This article using Vuong's (1989) test along with a collection of k(> 2) non-nested models constructs a set of appropriate models, say model confidence set, for unknown model h(.).Application of such confidence set has been confirmed through a simulation study.

Model Averaging Based on Kullback-leibler Distance.
This paper proposes a model averaging method based on Kullback-Leibler distance under a homoscedastic normal error term. The resulting model average estimator is proved to be asymptotically optimal. When combining least squares estimators, the model average estimator is shown to have the same large sample properties as the Mallows model average (MMA) estimator developed by Hansen (2007). We sho...
متن کاملNotes on Kullback-Leibler Divergence and Likelihood
The Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is a fundamental equation of information theory that quantifies the proximity of two probability distributions. Although difficult to understand by examining the equation, an intuition and understanding of the KL divergence arises from its intimate relationship with likelihood theory. We discuss how KL divergence arises from likelihood theory in an attempt t...
متن کاملRényi Divergence and Kullback-Leibler Divergence
Rényi divergence is related to Rényi entropy much like Kullback-Leibler divergence is related to Shannon’s entropy, and comes up in many settings. It was introduced by Rényi as a measure of information that satisfies almost the same axioms as Kullback-Leibler divergence, and depends on a parameter that is called its order. In particular, the Rényi divergence of order 1 equals the Kullback-Leibl...
متن کاملDistributed Vector Quantization Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence
The goal of vector quantization is to use a few reproduction vectors to represent original vectors/data while maintaining the necessary fidelity of the data. Distributed signal processing has received much attention in recent years, since in many applications data are dispersedly collected/stored in distributed nodes over networks, but centralizing all these data to one processing center is som...
متن کاملEntropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence estimation based on Szegö's theorem
In this work, a new technique for the estimation of the Shannon’s entropy and the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence for one dimensional data is presented. The estimator is based on the Szegö’s theorem for sequences of Toeplitz matrices, which deals with the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of those matrices, and the analogy between a probability density function (PDF) and a power spectral ...
متن کاملOptimism in Reinforcement Learning Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. Optimism is usually implemented by carrying out extended value iterations, under a constraint of consistency with the estimated model transition probabilities. In this paper, we strongly argue in favor of using the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence for this pur...
