Strictly Proper Scoring Rules and f-Divergences
Let $S$ be a scoring rule for probability functions. Define
$EXP_{S}(Q|P) = \sum \limits_{w} P(w)S(Q, w)$.
Say that $S$ is striclty proper if and only if $P$ always minimises $EXP_{S}(Q|P)$ as a fu …

Minimising the f-divergence to a conditional probability constraint
Let $P$ be a probability distribution and let $A$ and $B$ be some events, and suppose that we want to minimise an $f$-divergence between $P$ and the set of all distributions $Q$ that satisfy that cons …
