An estimation problem: a kernel P from a parameter space Θ to a sample space 𝒳,
an objective function y on the parameter space and a cost function ℓ.
We don't put the data generating kernel into this structure, since we will often perform operations
on it and we don't want to duplicate all kernel operations on estimationProblem.
- y : Θ → 𝒴
The objective function.
- y_meas : Measurable self.y
The cost (or loss) function.
- ℓ_meas : Measurable self.ℓ
Instances For
Given an estimation problem E and a measurable function f : Θ' → Θ, we can consider a new
estimation problem where the kernel is given by the pullback of E.P through f.

Properties of the Bayes risk of a prior #
The Bayesian risk of an estimator κ with respect to a prior π can be expressed as
an integral in the following way: R_π(κ) = ((P†π × κ) ∘ P ∘ π)[(θ, z) ↦ ℓ(y(θ), z)].
Generalized Bayes estimator #
We say that a measurable function f : 𝒳 → 𝒵 is a Generalized Bayes estimator for the
estimation problem E with respect to the prior π if for (P ∘ₘ π)-almost every x it is of
the form x ↦ argmin_z P†π(x)[θ ↦ ℓ(y(θ), z)].
