Improvement of Bobrovsky-Mayor-Wolf-Zakai Bound

Entropy (Basel). 2021 Jan 28;23(2):161. doi: 10.3390/e23020161.

Abstract

This paper presents a difference-type lower bound for the Bayes risk as a difference-type extension of the Borovkov-Sakhanenko bound. The resulting bound asymptotically improves the Bobrovsky-Mayor-Wolf-Zakai bound which is difference-type extension of the Van Trees bound. Some examples are also given.
