[6] [7] It is also known as Fréchet-Cramér–Rao or Fréchet-Darmois-Cramér-Rao lower bound. It states that the precision of any unbiased estimator is at most the Fisher information; or (equivalently) the reciprocal of the Fisher information is a lower bound on its variance.
In variational Bayesian methods, the evidence lower bound (often abbreviated ELBO, also sometimes called the variational lower bound [1] or negative variational free energy) is a useful lower bound on the log-likelihood of some observed data.
In statistics, the Bhattacharyya distance is a quantity which represents a notion of similarity between two probability distributions. [1] It is closely related to the Bhattacharyya coefficient, which is a measure of the amount of overlap between two statistical samples or populations.
In statistics, the Q-function is the ... Finally, the best lower bound is given by = / ... there is no simple analytical formula for the Q-function.
Variational Bayesian methods are a family of techniques for approximating intractable integrals arising in Bayesian inference and machine learning.They are typically used in complex statistical models consisting of observed variables (usually termed "data") as well as unknown parameters and latent variables, with various sorts of relationships among the three types of random variables, as ...
To obtain an upper bound for Pr(X > 0), and thus a lower bound for Pr(X = 0), we first note that since X takes only integer values, Pr(X > 0) = Pr(X ≥ 1). Since X is non-negative we can now apply Markov's inequality to obtain Pr(X ≥ 1) ≤ E[X]. Combining these we have Pr(X > 0) ≤ E[X]; the first moment method is simply the use of this ...
The set S = {42} has 42 as both an upper bound and a lower bound; all other numbers are either an upper bound or a lower bound for that S. Every subset of the natural numbers has a lower bound since the natural numbers have a least element (0 or 1, depending on convention). An infinite subset of the natural numbers cannot be bounded from above.
