Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

Blind Construction of Optimal Nonlinear Recursive Predictors for Discrete Sequences
We present a new method for nonlinear prediction of discrete random sequences under minimal structural assumptions. We give a mathematical construction for optimal predictors of s...

Solving the Ill-Conditioning in Neural Network Learning
Abstract. In this paper we investigate the feed-forward learning problem. The well-known ill-conditioning which is present in most feed-forward learning problems is shown to be the...
