31. On loss functions which minimize to conditional expected values and posterior probabilities

Author

Miller, John W., Goodman, Rod, and Smyth, Padhraic

Subjects
Entropy (Information theory) -- Analysis, Limit theorems (Probability theory) -- Analysis, Functions -- Analysis
Abstract

A loss function, or objective function, is a function used to compare parameters when fitting a model to data. The loss function gives a distance between the model output and the desired output. Two common examples are the squared-error loss function and the cross entropy loss function. It is well known that minimizing the mean-square error loss function is equivalent to minimizing the mean square difference between the model output and the expected value of the output given a particular input. This property of minimization to the expected value is formalized as 'P-admissibility.' The necessary and sufficient conditions for P-admissibility, leading to a parametric description of all P-admissible loss functions are found. In particular, it is shown that two of the simplest members of this class of functions are the squared error and the cross entropy loss functions. One application of this work is in the choice of a loss function for training neural networks to provide probability estimates.
