Domain-specific

• Gamma-minimax inference
  • … sampling model, action and parameter spaces, loss, prior class Gamma, risk orientation, admissibility conditions, supremum, optimizer, and existence or approximation guarantees are explicit. to An applied instance preserves the same invariant under a changed scale, notation, jurisdiction, dataset, or implementation..

• Scoring Rule
  • The logarithmic loss is `S(P,y)=-log p(y)`, assigning a large penalty to an outcome given very small probability and infinite loss to an event assigned zero probability under the ideal mathematical form; Good linked this logarithmic score to rational probability assessment and information.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
