We prove the large deviation principle (LDP) for posterior distributions arising from curved exponential families in a parametric setting, allowing misspecification of the model. Moreover, motivated by the so called inverse Sanov Theorem, obtained in a nonparametric setting by Ganesh and O’Connell (1999 and 2000), we study the relationship between the rate function for the LDP studied in this paper, and the one for the LDP for the corresponding maximum likelihood estimators. In our setting…

We consider the asymptotic behavior of posterior distributions if the model is misspecified. Given a prior distribution and a random sample from a distribution P 0 , which may not be in the support
Large deviations for M-estimators
We study the large deviation principle for M-estimators (and maximum likelihood estimators in particular). We obtain the rate function of the large deviation principle for M-estimators. For

Abstract : It is shown that the extreme stable laws have one-sided moment-generating functions with interesting mathematical forms. The fact that one of these forms, exp (cz log z), is a

Abstract This article shows that information partitioning in contingency tables is a very general property of exponential families. One partitioning scheme occurs when the hypotheses of interest are
