Axiomatizing Local Asymptotic Minimax Risk
局部渐近极小极大风险的公理化
Local asymptotic minimax (LAM) risk is a foundational efficiency criterion in statistics and econometrics. The literature uses two definitions of LAM risk: one which appears in classical lower bounds and another which appears in arguments establishing attainment of those bounds. Conventional efficiency arguments are consistent with any estimator-dependent weighted average of the two, and consequently do not reveal which of these generalized $α$-LAM risk indices describes…
