Abstract:Simultaneous predictive distributions for independent Poisson observables are investigated, and the performance of predictive distributions is evaluated using the Kullback-Leibler (K-L) loss. This study introduces intuitive sufficient conditions, based on superharmonicity of priors, to improve the Bayesian predictive distribution based on the Jeffreys prior. The sufficient conditions exhibit a certain analogy with those known for the multivariate normal distribution. Additionally, this study examines the case where the observed data and target variables to be predicted are independent Poisson processes with different durations. Examples that satisfy the sufficient conditions are provided, including point and subspace shrinkage priors. The K-L risk of the improved predictions is demonstrated to be less than 1.04 times a minimax lower bound.
