Duality and Error for Predictively Oriented Inference
面向预测的推断:对偶与误差
Predictively oriented (PrO) inference quantifies uncertainty by selecting a distribution over model parameters to optimize a scoring rule applied to the induced predictive distribution, together with a divergence penalty from a reference distribution. By applying the scoring rule after averaging model densities, PrO inference targets predictive performance, accounting for model misspecification. We focus on the logarithmic score with general $φ$-divergence regularization.…
