A Parametric Minimax Theorem with Application
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a parametric minimax problem which arises from the theoretical foundation of certain decomposition methods in global optimization. Specifically, conditions for lower semi-continuity of the saddle value of a quasiconvex-quasiconcave function depending on a parameter are developed and a general parametric minimax theorem is proved.

Parametric Borwein-preiss Variational Principle and Applications
A parametric version of the Borwein-Preiss smooth variational principle is presented, which states that under suitable assumptions on a given convex function depending on a parameter, the minimum point of a smooth convex perturbation of it depends continuously on the parameter. Some applications are given: existence of a Nash equilibrium and a solution of a variational inequality for a system o...
متن کاملMinimax Estimation of the Scale Parameter in a Family of Transformed Chi-Square Distributions under Asymmetric Squared Log Error and MLINEX Loss Functions
This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the minimax estimators of the scale parameter ? in a family of transformed chi-square distributions, under asymmetric squared log error (SLE) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss functions, using the Lehmann Theorem [2]. Also we show that the results of Podder et al. [4] for Pareto distribution are a special case of our results for th...
متن کاملAsymptotically Minimax Robust Hypothesis Testing
The design of asymptotically minimax robust hypothesis testing is formalized for the Bayesian and Neyman-Pearson tests of Type I and II. The uncertainty classes based on the KL-divergence, αdivergence, symmetrized α-divergence, total variation distance, as well as the band model, moment classes and p-point classes are considered. It is shown with a counterexample that minimax robust tests do no...
متن کاملStatistical inference for nonparametric GARCH models
We consider extensions of the famous GARCH(1, 1) model where the recursive equation for the volatilities is not specified by a parametric link but by a smooth autoregression function. Our goal is to estimate this function under nonparametric constraints when the volatilities are observed with multiplicative innovation errors. We construct an estimation procedure whose risk attains the usual con...
متن کاملMinimax Bounds for Autoregressive Approximations
The subject of this paper is autoregressive AR approximations of a stationary Gaus sian discrete time process based on a nite sequence of observations We adopt the non parametric minimax framework and study how well can the process be approximated by a nite order autoregressive model Our results show that a properly chosen model dimen sion leads to an optimal in order minimax estimator
