Inequality for the variance of an asymmetric loss

Statistics Theory 2023-07-06 v2 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We assume that the forecast error follows a probability distribution which is symmetric and monotonically non-increasing on non-negative real numbers, and if there is a mismatch between observed and predicted value, then we suffer a loss. Under the assumptions, we solve a minimization problem with an asymmetric loss function. In addition, we give an inequality for the variance of the loss.
