A minimally informative likelihood approach to Bayesian inference and decision analysis
For a given prior density, we minimize the Shannon Mutual Information between a parameter and the data, over a class of likelihoods defined by bounding a Bayes risk by a 'distortion parameter'. This gives a conditional distribution for the data given the parameter which provides optimal da...
