Higher-order asymptotics for the parametric complexity
James G. Dowty
The parametric complexity is the key quantity in the minimum description length (MDL) approach to statistical model selection. Rissanen and others have shown that the parametric co…
SMML estimators for linear regression and tessellations of hyperbolic space
James G. Dowty
The strict minimum message length (SMML) principle links data compression with inductive inference. The corresponding estimators have many useful properties but they can be hard to…
SMML estimators for exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics
James G. Dowty
The minimum message length principle is an information theoretic criterion that links data compression with statistical inference. This paper studies the strict minimum message len…
SMML estimators for 1-dimensional continuous data
James G. Dowty
A method is given for calculating the strict minimum message length (SMML) estimator for 1-dimensional exponential families with continuous sufficient statistics. A set of equa…
