Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide some theoretical understanding of quasi-Bayesian aggregation methods non-negative matrix factorization. We derive an oracle inequality for an aggregated estimator. This result holds for a very general class of prior distributions and shows how the prior affects the rate of convergence.

Comments

This is the corrected version of the published paper P. Alquier, B. Guedj, An Oracle Inequality for Quasi-Bayesian Non-negative Matrix Factorization, Mathematical Methods of Statistics, 2017, vol. 26, no. 1, pp. 55-67. Since then Arnak Dalalyan (ENSAE) found a mistake in the proofs. We fixed the mistake at the price of a slightly different logarithmic term in the bound
