Characterization of Generalized Alpha-Beta Divergence and Associated Entropy Measures
Subhrajyoty Roy, Supratik Basu, Abhik Ghosh +1
Minimum divergence estimators provide a natural framework for robust (parametric) statistical inference. Useful properties of several such divergence measures, including, the Helli…
Universally Optimal Robustness-Efficiency Tradeoffs for a General Class of Minimum Divergence Estimators
Subhrajyoty Roy, Supratik Basu, Abhik Ghosh +1
Balancing the efficiency of an estimator under ideal conditions against its robustness under contamination remains a central challenge in robust statistics. While minimum divergenc…
On Generalized Likelihood Estimation Based on the Logarithmic Norm Relative Entropy
Himanshi Singh, Abhik Ghosh, Nil Kamal Hazra
Traditional likelihood based methods for parameter estimation get highly affected when the given data is contaminated by outliers even in a small proportion. In this paper, we cons…
Asymptotic breakdown point analysis of the minimum density power divergence estimator under independent non-homogeneous setups
Suryasis Jana, Subhrajyoty Roy, Ayanendranath Basu +1
The minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE) has gained significant attention in the literature of robust inference due to its strong robustness properties and high asymp…
