| In [[statistical decision theory]], an '''admissible decision rule''' is a rule for making a decision such that there is not any other rule that is always "better" than it.<ref>[[Yadolah Dodge|Dodge, Y.]] (2003) ''The Oxford Dictionary of Statistical Terms''.

|
| Generally speaking, in most decision problems the set of admissible rules is large, even infinite, so this is not a sufficient criterion to pin down a single rule, but as will be seen there are some good reasons to favor admissible rules; compare [[Pareto efficiency]].

| ==Definition==
| |
| Define [[Set (mathematics)|sets]] <math>\Theta\,</math>, <math>\mathcal{X}</math> and <math>\mathcal{A}</math>, where <math>\Theta\,</math> are the states of nature, <math>\mathcal{X}</math> the possible observations, and <math>\mathcal{A}</math> the actions that may be taken. An observation <math>x \in \mathcal{X}\,\!</math> is distributed as <math>F(x\mid\theta)\,\!</math> and therefore provides evidence about the state of nature <math>\theta\in\Theta\,\!</math>. A '''decision rule''' is a [[Function (mathematics)|function]] <math>\delta:{\mathcal{X}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{A}}</math>, where upon observing <math>x\in \mathcal{X}</math>, we choose to take action <math>\delta(x)\in \mathcal{A}\,\!</math>.
| |
| | |
| Also define a '''[[loss function]]''' <math>L: \Theta \times \mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}</math>, which specifies the loss we would incur by taking action <math>a \in \mathcal{A}</math> when the true state of nature is <math>\theta \in \Theta</math>. Usually we will take this action after observing data <math>x \in \mathcal{X}</math>, so that the loss will be <math>L(\theta,\delta(x))\,\!</math>. (It is possible though unconventional to recast the following definitions in terms of a [[utility function]], which is the negative of the loss.)
| |
| | |
| Define the '''[[risk function]]''' as the [[expected value|expectation]]
| |
| | |
| :<math>R(\theta,\delta)=\operatorname{E}_{F(x\mid\theta)}[{L(\theta,\delta(x))]}.\,\!</math>
| |
| | |
| Whether a decision rule <math>\delta\,\!</math> has low risk depends on the true state of nature <math>\theta\,\!</math>. A decision rule <math>\delta^*\,\!</math> '''[[dominating decision rule|dominates]]''' a decision rule <math>\delta\,\!</math> if and only if <math>R(\theta,\delta^*)\le R(\theta,\delta)</math> for all <math>\theta\,\!</math>, ''and'' the inequality is [[inequality (mathematics)|strict]] for some <math>\theta\,\!</math>.
| |
| | |
| A decision rule is '''admissible''' (with respect to the loss function) if and only if no other rule dominates it; otherwise it is '''inadmissible'''. Thus an admissible decision rule is a [[maximal element]] with respect to the above partial order.
| |
| An inadmissible rule is not preferred (except for reasons of simplicity or computational efficiency), since by definition there is some other rule that will achieve equal or lower risk for ''all'' <math>\theta\,\!</math>. But just because a rule <math>\delta\,\!</math> is admissible does not mean it is a good rule to use. Being admissible means there is no other single rule that is ''always'' better - but other admissible rules might achieve lower risk for most <math>\theta\,\!</math> that occur in practice. (The Bayes risk discussed below is a way of explicitly considering which <math>\theta\,\!</math> occur in practice.)
| |
| | |
| ==Bayes rules and generalized Bayes rules== | |
| {{See also|Bayes estimator#Admissibility}}
| |
| | |
| ===Bayes rules===
| |
| Let <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math> be a probability distribution on the states of nature. From a [[Bayesian probability|Bayesian]] point of view, we would regard it as a ''[[prior distribution]]''. That is, it is our believed probability distribution on the states of nature, prior to observing data. For a [[Frequency probability|frequentist]], it is merely a function on <math>\Theta\,\!</math> with no such special interpretation. The '''Bayes risk''' of the decision rule <math>\delta\,\!</math> with respect to <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math> is the expectation
| |
| | |
| :<math>r(\pi,\delta)=\operatorname{E}_{\pi(\theta)}[R(\theta,\delta)].\,\!</math>
| |
| | |
| A decision rule <math>\delta\,\!</math> that minimizes <math>r(\pi,\delta)\,\!</math> is called a '''[[Bayes estimator|Bayes rule]]''' with respect to <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math>. There may be more than one such Bayes rule. If the Bayes risk is infinite for all <math>\delta\,\!</math>, then no Bayes rule is defined.
| |
| | |
| ===Generalized Bayes rules===
| |
| {{See also|Bayes_estimator#Generalized_Bayes_estimators}}
| |
| | |
| In the Bayesian approach to decision theory, the observed <math>x\,\!</math> is considered ''fixed''. Whereas the frequentist approach (i.e., risk) averages over possible samples <math>x \in \mathcal{X}\,\!</math>, the Bayesian would fix the observed sample <math>x\,\!</math> and average over hypotheses <math>\theta \in \Theta\,\!</math>. Thus, the Bayesian approach is to consider for our observed <math>x\,\!</math> the '''[[Loss_function#Expected_loss|expected loss]]'''
| |
| | |
| :<math>\rho(\pi,\delta \mid x)=\operatorname{E}_{\pi(\theta \mid x)} [ L(\theta,\delta(x)) ]. \,\!</math> | |
| | |
| where the expectation is over the ''posterior'' of <math>\theta\,\!</math> given <math>x\,\!</math> (obtained from <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math> and <math>F(x\mid\theta)\,\!</math> using [[Bayes' theorem]]).
| |
| | |
| Having made explicit the expected loss for each given <math>x\,\!</math> separately, we can define a decision rule <math>\delta\,\!</math> by specifying for each <math>x\,\!</math> an action <math>\delta(x)\,\!</math> that minimizes the expected loss. This is known as a '''generalized Bayes rule''' with respect to <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math>. There may be more than one generalized Bayes rule, since there may be multiple choices of <math>\delta(x)\,\!</math> that achieve the same expected loss.
| |
| | |
| At first, this may appear rather different from the Bayes rule approach of the previous section, not a generalization. However, notice that the Bayes risk already averages over <math>\Theta\,\!</math> in Bayesian fashion, and the Bayes risk may be recovered as the expectation over <math>\mathcal{X}</math> of the expected loss (where <math>x\sim\theta\,\!</math> and <math>\theta\sim\pi\,\!</math>). Roughly speaking, <math>\delta\,\!</math> minimizes this expectation of expected loss (i.e., is a Bayes rule) if it minimizes the expected loss for each <math>x \in \mathcal{X}</math> separately (i.e., is a generalized Bayes rule).
| |
| | |
| Then why is the notion of generalized Bayes rule an improvement? It is indeed equivalent to the notion of Bayes rule when a Bayes rule exists and all <math>x\,\!</math> have positive probability. However, no Bayes rule exists if the Bayes risk is infinite (for all <math>\delta\,\!</math>). In this case it is still useful to define a generalized Bayes rule <math>\delta\,\!</math>, which at least chooses a minimum-expected-loss action <math>\delta(x)\!\,</math> for those <math>x\,\!</math> for which a finite-expected-loss action does exist. In addition, a generalized Bayes rule may be desirable because it must choose a minimum-expected-loss action <math>\delta(x)\,\!</math> for ''every'' <math>x\,\!</math>, whereas a Bayes rule would be allowed to deviate from this policy on a set <math>X \subseteq \mathcal{X}</math> of measure 0 without affecting the Bayes risk.
| |
| | |
| More important, it is sometimes convenient to use an improper prior <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math>. In this case, the Bayes risk is not even well-defined, nor is there any well-defined distribution over <math>x\,\!</math>. However, the posterior <math>\pi(\theta\mid x)\,\!</math>—and hence the expected loss—may be well-defined for each <math>x\,\!</math>, so that it is still possible to define a generalized Bayes rule.
| |
| | |
| ===Admissibility of (generalized) Bayes rules===
| |
| According to the complete class theorems, under mild conditions every admissible rule is a (generalized) Bayes rule (with respect to some prior <math>\pi(\theta)\,\!</math>—possibly an improper one—that favors distributions <math>\theta\,\!</math> where that rule achieves low risk). Thus, in [[frequentist]] [[decision theory]] it is sufficient to consider only (generalized) Bayes rules.
| |
| | |
| Conversely, while Bayes rules with respect to proper priors are virtually always admissible, generalized Bayes rules corresponding to [[Prior probability#Improper priors|improper priors]] need not yield admissible procedures. [[Stein's example]] is one such famous situation.
| |
| | |
| ==Examples==
| |
| | |
| The [[James–Stein estimator]] is a nonlinear estimator which can be shown to dominate, or outperform, the [[ordinary least squares]] technique with respect to a mean-square error loss function.<ref>{{harvnb|Cox|Hinkley|1974|loc=Section 11.8}}</ref> Thus least squares estimation is not necessarily an admissible estimation procedure. Some others of the standard estimates associated with the [[normal distribution]] are also inadmissible: for example, the [[sample variance|sample estimate of the variance]] when the population mean and variance are unknown.<ref>{{harvnb|Cox|Hinkley|1974|loc=Exercise 11.7}}</ref>
