NON-ASYMPTOTIC MINIMAX RISK FOR HELLINGER BALLS

Lucien Birgé

Abstract: The following intuitively evident result is shown.

Given a probability P and a radius r , assume that we have to estimate an unknown law belonging to a sphere with centre P and radius r for the Hellinger distance using n independent identically distributed observations. If the risk is measured by the square of the Hellinger distance, then the observations carry no information and the best estimator is just the centre P of the sphere.
