Probabilistic relabelling strategies for the label switching problem in Bayesian mixture models
The label switching problem is caused by the likelihood of a Bayesian mixture model being invariant to permutations of the labels. The permutation can change multiple times betwee...

Sequential Prediction of Individual Sequences Under General Loss Functions
Abstract— We consider adaptive sequential prediction of arbitrary binary sequences when the performance is evaluated using a general loss function. The goal is to predict on each...

Bounds for Validation
In this paper we derive the bounds for Validation (known also as Hold-Out Estimate and Train-and-Test Method). We present the best possible bound in the case of 0-1 valued loss fun...
