1Minimax — This article is about the decision theory concept. For other uses, see Minimax (disambiguation). Minimax (sometimes minmax) is a decision rule used in decision theory, game theory, statistics and philosophy for minimizing the possible loss for a… …
2Minimax estimator — In statistical decision theory, where we are faced with the problem of estimating a deterministic parameter (vector) from observations an estimator (estimation rule) is called minimax if its maximal risk is minimal among all estimators of . In a… …
