Asymptotic cumulative risk and Bayes risk under entropy loss, with applications

Abstract

dc:description

In many areas of application of statistics one has a relevent parametric family of densities and wishes to estimate the density from a random sample. In such cases one can use the family to generate an estimator. We fix a prior and consider the properties of the predictive density as an estimator of the density.
