Optimism

Optimism of the Training Error Rate

$$Err_{in}=\dfrac{1}{N}\sum^N_{i=1}E_{Y_0}[L(Y_i^0,\hat{f}(x_i))|\mathcal{T}]$$

The $Y^0$notation indicates that we observe N new response values at each of the training points $x_i, i=1,2,\dots,N$.

$$Err_{extra}=Err_{in}+Err_{out\;of}=(\bar{err}+op)+Err_{out\;of}$$

Extra sample error can be decomposed into in-sample error and out of sample error. In sample error is the sum of training error and optimism.

$$op\equiv Err_{in}-\bar{err}$$

(Because $Err_{in}$and $op$are random quantity, we use triple equal sign.) It means $op$has the distribution same as $Err_{in}-\bar{err}$. Let's get the expected op to predict it.

$$\omega\equiv E_y(op)$$

More concisely, in a right side this is conditioned on $\mathcal{T}$ but we can just use y(X is given input, we only need to consider random quantity y). In several loss functions like squared error and 0-1 $\omega$satisfies the following equation.

$$\omega=\dfrac{2}{N}\sum^N_{i=1}Cov(\hat{y}_i,y_i)$$

Proof: https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/88912/optimism-bias-estimates-of-prediction-error

$$Cov(\hat{Y},Y)=Cov(\hat{Y},\hat{Y}+\epsilon)=Cov(\hat{Y})=Cov(HY)=HCov(Y)H^T \\ Cov(\hat{y}_i,y_i)=[HH^T]_{ii}\sigma^2 \\ \sum^N_{i=1}Cov(\hat{y}_i,y_i)=\sum[X(X^TX)^{-1}X^T]_{ii}\sigma^2=trace(X)\sigma^2=d\sigma^2$$

$$E_y(Err_{in})=E_y(\bar{err})+\frac{2}{N}\sum Cov(\hat{y}_i,y_i)=E_y(\bar{err})+2*\frac{d}{N}\sigma^2_\epsilon$$

Expected in-sample error. Trace becomes d because of effective number of parameters.

An obvious way to estimate prediction error is to estimate the optimism and then add it to the training error.

To estimate In-sample error we estimate expected In-sample error

Estimates of In-sample Prediction Error

$$\hat{Err_{in}}=\bar{err}+\hat{w}$$

In-sample error estimation = $\omega$(average optimism) estimation.

The way omega is estimated decide following equations:

Cp

$$C_p=\bar{err}+2*\dfrac{d}{N}\hat{\sigma}^2_\epsilon$$

AIC

AIC(Akaike Information Criterion) uses log-likelihood loss function. 아래의 식은 Expected in-sample error에 관한 식이다.

Proof: http://faculty.washington.edu/yenchic/19A_stat535/Lec7_model.pdf

The idea of AIC is to adjust the empirical risk to be an unbiased estimator of the true risk in a parametric model. Under a likelihood framework, the loss function is the negative log-likelihood function

Logistic regression model(binomial log likelihood)

$$AIC=-\frac{2}{N}loglik+2\frac{d}{N}$$

Gaussian model

$$AIC=\bar{err}+2\frac{d}{N}\hat{\sigma}^2_\epsilon$$

With tuning parameter $\alpha$

$$AIC(\alpha)=\bar{err}(\alpha)+2\frac{d(\alpha)}{N}\hat{\sigma}^2_\epsilon$$

The aim is to find alpha that minimizes the value above using our estimated value of test error.
