1 A proof of Calibration via Blackwell's Approachability heore Dean P. Foster æ February 27, 1997 Abstract Over the past few years any proofs of calibration have been presented èfoster and Vohra è1991, 1997è, Hart è1995è, Fudenberg and Levine è1995è, Hart and Mas-Colell è1996èè. Does the literature really need one ore? Probably not, but this algorith for being calibrated is particularly siple and doesn't require a atrix inversion. Further the proof follows directly fro Blackwell's approachability theore. For these reasons it ight be useful in the class roo. æ his work was done while I was visiting the Center for for Matheatical Studies in Econoics and Manageent Science, Northwestern University. Peranent aæliation: Dept. of Statistics, he Wharton School, University ofpennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA Eail:foster@hellspark.wharton.upenn.edu. hanks to Sergiu Hart who provided the proof of the only result in the paper. he algorith is a odiæcation of the original algorith in Foster and Vohra è1991è. 1
2 Suppose at tie t a forecast, f t, is ade which takes on the value of the idpoint of each of the intervals ë0; 1=ë, ë1=; 2=ë, :::,ë,1 ;1ë, naely, for i equals 1 to. Let Ai t the vector of indicators as to which forecast 2i,1 2 is actually ade: 8 A é: i = 1 if f t = 2i,1 2 t 0 otherwise Let X t be the outcoe at tie t. We can now deæne the epirical frequency i t as: i = X t A i t Hopefully, i lies in the interval ë i,1 ; i ë. If so, the forecast is approxiately calibrated. If not, I will easure how far outside the interval it is by two distances: d i t and e i t èfor deæcit and excessè which are deæned as: d i = 1 e i = 1 è i,1 A i t, X tèa i t =ë i,1,i ëa i èx t, i èai t =ëi, i ëai P where A i = A i t =. I will show that the following forecasting rule will drive both of these distances to zero: 1. If there exist an i æ such that e iæ 0 and d iæ 0, then forecast 2iæ, Otherwise, ænd an i æ such that d iæ é 0 and eiæ,1 forecast either 2iæ,1 or 2iæ +1 with probabilities: 2 2 P f +1 = 2iæ, 1 2 =1,P f +1 = 2iæ +1 2 é 0 then randoly = d iæ d iæ +e iæ,1 2
3 It is clear that an i æ can be found in step 2, since i = 1 always under forecasts and i = always over-forecasts. he L-1 calibration score: C 1; X i=0 j i t, 2i+1 jai = X axèd i ; ei è so showing that all the e i and di converge to zero, iplies that C 1; converges to 1 2. heore 1 èfoster and Vohraè For all æé0, there exists a forecasting ethod which is calibrated in the sense that C 1; éæif is suæciently large. In particular the above algorith will achieve this goal if 1 æ. Consider this as a gae between a statistician and nature. he statistician picks the forecast f t and nature picks the data sequence X t. he statisticians goal is to force all of the e i and d i to be negative èor at least approach this in the liitè. Nature's goal is to keep the statistician fro doing this. his set up is a gae of ëapproachability" which was studied by Blackwell. He found a necessary and suæcient condition for a set to be approachable. heore 2 èblackwell 1956è Let L ij beavector valued payoæ taking values in R n, where the statistician picks an i fro I at round i and nature picks a strategy j fro J at tie t. Let G be aconvex subset of R n. Let a 2 R n and let c 2 G be the closest point in G to the point a. hen G is approachable by the statistician if for all such a, there exist a weight vector w i such that for all j 2J, X è w i L ij, cè 0 èa, cè 0: è1è i2i o prove heore 1, we need to translate the calibration gae into a Blackwell approachability gae. he set of strategies for the statistician, I, 3
4 is the set of the diæerent forecasts. he set of strategies for nature, J,is the set f0; 1g. Deæne e i X = èx, i èai d i X = è i,1, XèAi he vector loss is the vector of all the èd i ;e i è's, in otherwords, it is a point in R 2. he goal set G R 2 is G = fx 2 R 2 jè8kèx k 0g. Let e i = 1 P ei X t and d i = 1 P di X t. he èd i X ;ei Xè i will be our L ij in the Blackwell gae, and èd i ; e i è i will be the point c. he closest point ing to the current average a =èd i ;e i è i2i is c = èd i è, ; èe i è i2i, : where we have deæned the positive and negative parts as x + = axè0;xè and x, = inè0;xè. he weight vector w is the vector of probability of forecasting i=k. Proof: èhart 1996è Now tocheck equation è1è. Writing it in ters of d i 's and e i 's equation è1è is: X èw i d i, èd i è, èèd i, èd i è, è+èw i e i,èe i è, èèe i, èe i è, è 0 fro x, x, = x + equation è1è is equivalent to X èw i d i, èd i è, èèd i è + +èw i e i,èe i è, èèe i è + Since, èx, èèx + è = 0, it is suæcient to show: X w i èe i èe i è + + d i èd i è + è 0: 0 4
5 If step 1. of the algorith is used the weight vector is just w iæ =1ifi æ is the forecast chosen and zero otherwise. So w i 6= 0 only when both èd i è + and èe i è + are zero, so the entire su is zero. If step 2. is used, the non-zero ters are w iæ and w iæ,1. But, èe iæ è + is zero and èd iæ,1è + is zero. So, it is suæcient to show: w iæ d iæ èd iæ è + + w iæ,1 e iæ,1 èe iæ,1 è + 0 But, d iæ =,e iæ,1, so it is suæcient to show: w iæ èd iæ è +, w iæ,1 èe iæ,1 è + 0 But, this follows èwith equalityè fro the deænition of our probabilities. 2 References Blackwell, D. è1956è. ëan analog of the iniax theore for vector payoæs."
