On continuous distribution functions, minimax and best invariant estimators, and integrated balanced loss functions [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We consider the problem of estimating a continuous distribution function $F$, as well as meaningful functions $\tau(F)$ under a large class of loss functions. We obtain best invariant estimators and establish their minimaxity for H\"{o}lder continuous $\tau$'s and strict bowl-shaped losses with a bounded derivative.
