Beyond the Pleasure Principle
While Freud did not explicitly make this claim, one may regard Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) as the first, still somewhat tentative resolution of the troubling theoretical problem he had raised in the paper on narcissism (see above, pp. 545-62). The Ego and the Id, published three years later, was his second, definitive response. He now replaced the pairing of driveslibidinal and egoisti...
متن کاملMinimax Entropy Principle and Its Applicationto Texture
This article proposes a general theory and methodology, called the minimax entropy principle, for building statistical models for images (or signals) in a variety of applications. This principle consists of two parts. The rst is the maximum entropy principle for feature binding (or fusion): for a given set of observed feature statistics, a distribution can be built to bind these feature statist...
متن کاملCertainty Equivalence Principle and Minimax Team Problems
We consider a team problem, with two decision makers for simplicity, where the uncertainties are dealt with in a minimax fashion rather than in a stochastic framework. We do not assume that the players exchange information at any time. Thus new ideas are necessary to investigate that situation. In contrast with the classical literature we do not use necessary conditions, but investigate to what...
متن کاملApplying the Minimax Principle to Sequential Mastery Testing
The purpose of this paper is to derive optimal rules for sequential mastery tests. In a sequential mastery test, the decision is to classify a subject as a master, a nonmaster, or to continue sampling and administering another random item. The framework of minimax sequential decision theory (minimum information approach) is used; that is, optimal rules are obtained by minimizing the maximum exp...
متن کاملModern Nonparametric Statistics: Going Beyond Asymptotic Minimax
During the years 1975 1990 a major emphasis in nonparametric estimation was put on computing the asymptotic minimax risk for many classes of functions. Modern statistical practice indicates some serious limitations of the asymptotic minimax approach and calls for some new ideas and methods which can cope with the numerous challenges brought to statisticians by modern sets of data. Mathematics S...
