Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to establish certain relationships between the theories of means (aggregation functions) and loss functions. Namely, we derive sufficient conditions under which the sequence of the expected losses of a quasi-arithmetic mean of the first $n$ members from a sequence of exchangeable random variables is (strictly) decreasing with respect to $n$. Some new properties of functions which are strongly convex with respect to a nonnegative even error function, such as a Jensen-type inequality, are described. Additionally, non-trivial new examples for such functions are presented as well.
