Statistical estimation with model selection Lucien

The purpose of this paper is to explain the interest and importance of (approximate) models and model selection in Statistics. Starting from the very elementary example of histograms we present a general notion of finite dimensional model for statistical estimation and we explain what type of risk bounds can be expected from the use of one such model. We then give the performance of suitable mo...

Morris Fishbein

I have delayed writing this review because I have long admired the ability of Dr. Morris Fishbein to write about medicine, even though I have only rarely shared his political views. His autobiography comes as a great disappointment to me because I can find little in it of interest. I finally rose from my apathy to write this notice because a Yale medical student asked, "Who is Morris Fishbein?"...

Se p 20 06 Model selection for Poisson processes Lucien

Our purpose in this paper is to apply the general methodology for model selection based on T-estimators developed in Birgé (2006a) to the particular situation of the estimation of the unknown mean measure of a Poisson process. We introduce a Hellinger type distance between finite positive measures to serve as our loss function and we build suitable tests between balls (with respect to this dist...
