Blackwell Prediction for Categorical Data

Statistics Theory 2011-02-15 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We study the problem of sequential prediction of categorical data and discuss a generalisation of Blackwell's algorithm on 0-1 data. The arguments are based on Blackwell's approachability results given in Blackwell, D. (1956): An Analog of the Minimax Theorem for Vector Payoffs, Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 6, 1-8.
