Risk Theory-computing the risk function
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Let X~U(0,1). Let the loss function be L(x,y) = (x-y)^4. a. Compute the risk function R(y) here explicitly. What kind of function is it here? 2. Relevant equations let Y=1/2 3. The attempt at a solution I know you have to find the first and second derivatives of the loss function. dL(X,y)/dy= -4(x-y)^3 d^2L(X,y)/dy^2= 12(x-y)^2 I don't know where to go from here though. Any help would be much appreciated! 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2. Relevant equations 3. The attempt at a solution 1.
