2 today s lecture parametric estimation, Fisher information, Cramer-Rao lower bound: Ch. 4, Sec. 9.3 information and estimation: Ch. 7 universal denoising: Ch. 8 (chapters and sections from new version of notes)

3

4 mean squared error estimation

5 bias-variance

6 Fisher Information exercise:

7 exercise

8 note

10 note: r.h.s. depends on estimator far from tight: consider estimator identically 0

11 multi-parameter case

12 Fisher information for a location family

13 Fisher Information and MMSE

14

15 recall D(P Q) = log dp dq dp I(U; V )=D(P U,V P U P V ),

16 mutual information and MMSE Y = γ X + W W is a standard Gaussian, independent of X I(γ) =I(X; Y ) mmse(γ) =E (X E[X Y ]) 2

17 [Guo, Shamaiand Verdú 2005]: d dγ I(γ) =1 2 mmse(γ) (follows from J-MMSE and De-Bruijn)

18 continuous time dy t = γx t dt + dw t, 0 t T I(γ) =I(X T ; Y T ) T mmse(γ) =E 0 (X t E[X t Y T ]) 2 dt

19 [Guo, Shamai and Verdú 2005]:, [Zakai 2005]: d dγ I(γ) =1 2 mmse(γ) or in its integral version snr I(snr) = mmse(γ)dγ

20 Duncan dy t = X t dt + dw t, 0 t T W is standard white Gaussian noise, independent of X [Duncan 1970]: I(X T ; Y T )= 1 2 E T 0 (X t E[X t Y t ]) 2 dt

21 SNR in Duncan dy t = γx t dt + dw t, 0 t T I(γ) =I(X T ; Y T ) cmmse(γ) =E T 0 [Duncan 1970]: (X t E[X t Y t ]) 2 dt I(γ) = γ 2 cmmse(γ)

22 Recap [Duncan 1970]: I(γ) = γ 2 cmmse(γ) [Guo, Shamai and Verdú 2005]:, [Zakai 2005]: snr I(snr) = mmse(γ)dγ?

23 Relationship between cmmse and mmse? cmmse(snr) = 1 snr snr 0 mmse(γ)dγ

24 Mismatch Y = γ X + W W is a standard Gaussian, independent of X What if X P but the estimator thinks X Q? mse P,Q (γ) =E P (X EQ [X Y ]) 2

25 A new representation of relative entropy [Verdu 2010]: D(P Q) = 0 [mse P,Q (γ) mse P,P (γ)]dγ D(P Ysnr Q Ysnr )= snr 0 [mse P,Q (γ) mse P,P (γ)]dγ

26 Causal vs. Non-causal Mismatched Estimation dy t = γx t dt + dw t, 0 t T W is standard white Gaussian noise, independent of X T cmse P,Q (γ) =E P (X t E Q [X t Y t ]) 2 dt T mse P,Q (γ) =E P 0 0 (X t E Q [X t Y T ]) 2 dt Relationship between cmse P,Q and mse P,Q?

27 Relationship between cmse P,Q and mse P,Q cmse P,Q (snr) = 1 snr snr 0 mse P,Q (γ)dγ

28 Relationship between cmse P,Q and mse P,Q cmse P,Q (snr) = 1 snr snr 0 mse P,Q (γ)dγ = 2 0 snr [I(snr)+D (P Y T Q Y T )]
