Goodness of prediction fit

AITCHISON, J.·1975·Biometrika

Abstract

Fitting a parametric model or estimating a parametric density function plays an important role in a number of statistical applications. Two widely-used methods, one replacing the unknown parameter by an efficient estimate and so termed estimative and the other using a mixture of the possible density functions and commonly termed predictive, are compared. On a general criterion of closeness of fit based on a discriminating information measure the predictive method is shown to be preferable. Explicit measures of the relative closeness of predictive and estimative fits are obtained for gamma and multinomial models.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
