This paper discusses predictive densities under the Kullback-Leibler loss in high-dimensional sparse count data models. In particular, Poisson sequence models under sparsity constraints are discussed. Sparsity in count data implies zero-inflation. We present a class of Bayes predictive densities that attain exact asymptotic minimaxity in sparse Poisson sequence models. We also show that our class with an estimator of unknown sparsity level plugged-in is adaptive in the exact minimax sense. For application, we extend our results to settings with quasi-sparsity and with missing-completely-at-random observations. The simulation studies as well as applications to real data demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed Bayes predictive densities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
