Best look-alike prediction: Another look at the Bayesian classifier and beyond
H Sun, J Jiang, T Nguyen, Y Luan - Statistics & Probability Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
A criterion of optimality in prediction is proposed that requires the predictor to assume the
same type of values as the random variable it is predicting. In the case of categorical …
