Nonsubjective Priors via Predictive Relative Entropy Regret
We explore the construction of nonsubjective prior distributions in Bayesian statistics via a posterior predictive relative entropy regret criterion. We carry out a minimax analysis based on a derived asymptotic predictive loss function and show that this approach to prior construction has a number of attractive features. The approach here differs from previous work that uses either prior or po...

متن کاملMinimizing Relative Entropy in Hierarchical Predictive Coding
The recent Hierarchical Predictive Coding theory is a very influential theory in neuroscience that postulates that the brain continuously makes (Bayesian) predictions about sensory inputs using a generative model. The Bayesian inferences (making predictions about sensory states, estimating errors between prediction and observation, and lowering the prediction error by revising hypotheses) are a...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy, Fluctuations and Priors
The method of maximum entropy (ME) is extended to address the following problem: Once one accepts that the ME distribution is to be preferred over all others, the question is to what extent are distributions with lower entropy supposed to be ruled out. Two applications are given. The first is to the theory of thermodynamic fluctuations. The formulation is exact, covariant under changes of coord...
متن کاملOn predictive probability matching priors
We revisit the question of priors that achieve approximate matching of Bayesian and frequentist predictive probabilities. Such priors may be thought of as providing frequentist calibration of Bayesian prediction or simply as devices for producing frequentist prediction regions. Here we analyse the O(n) term in the expansion of the coverage probability of a Bayesian prediction region, as derived...
