Consider a binary classification problem for $(X,Y)$, and let $\hat{f}$ be a proposed classifier. We wish to bound the misclassification rate $P(\hat{f}(X)\ne Y)$. There are many known lower bounds on ...

Problem description Suppose we have a finite alphabet $\mathcal{X}$, where each letter $X \in \mathcal{X}$ indexes into some fixed set of distributions, $\{P_{1},\ldots,P_{|\mathcal{X}|}\}$. For ...
