Adversarial Estimators
对抗估计量的渐近理论
We develop an asymptotic theory of adversarial estimators ('A-estimators'). They generalize maximum-likelihood-type estimators ('M-estimators') as their average objective is maximized by some parameters and minimized by others. This class subsumes the continuous-updating Generalized Method of Moments, Generative Adversarial Networks and more recent proposals in machine learning and econometrics. In these examples, researchers state which aspects of the problem may in…
