Minimax exclusivity conjecture for power-type losses
Minimax exclusivity conjecture for power-type losses
Let be distinct exponents, and for each let be the class of losses whose local behavior near is with . Consider minimax optimality over a regular parametric model. Minimax exclusivity conjecture. No estimator is simultaneously minimax for a loss in and a loss in . Equivalently, the family forms a minimax exclusivity partition of . The structural classes are disjoint and closed cones under positive scaling, but whether their structural separation forces minimax exclusivity remains unclear.
