Local asymptotic minimax risk bounds in a locally asymptotically mixture of normal experiments under asymmetric loss
Local asymptotic minimax risk bounds in a locally asymptotically mixture of normal family of distributions have been investigated under asymmetric loss functions and the asymptotic distribution of the optimal estimator that attains the bound has been obtained.
متن کاملLocal Privacy and Minimax Bounds: Sharp Rates for Probability Estimation
We provide a detailed study of the estimation of probability distributions— discrete and continuous—in a stringent setting in which data is kept private even from the statistician. We give sharp minimax rates of convergence for estimation in these locally private settings, exhibiting fundamental trade-offs between privacy and convergence rate, as well as providing tools to allow movement along ...
متن کاملMinimax Risk Bounds in Extreme Value Theory
Asymptotic minimax estimators of a positive extreme value index under zero-one loss are investigated in the classical i.i.d. setup. To this end, we prove the weak convergence of suitable local experiments with Pareto distributions as center of localization to a white noise model, which was previously studied in the context of nonparametric local density estimation and regression. From this resu...
متن کاملLocal Minimax Learning of Approximately Polynomial Functions
Suppose we have a number of noisy measurements of an unknown real-valued function f near a point of interest x0 ∈ R. Suppose also that nothing can be assumed about the noise distribution, except for zero mean and bounded covariance matrix. We want to estimate f at x0 using a general linear parametric family f(x; a) = a0h0(x) + . . . + aqhq(x), where a ∈ R and hi’s are bounded functions on a nei...
متن کاملAre Analysts’ Loss Functions Asymmetric?
Recent research suggests that optimistically biased earnings forecasts issued by analysts are attributable to analysts minimizing symmetric, linear loss functions. We test an alternative explanation, namely that analysts have asymmetric loss functions. Theory predicts that if loss functions are asymmetric then forecast error bias depends on forecast error variance, but not necessarily on skewne...
