我们提出了一种方法框架，用于求解参数空间可测子集上具有部分指定分布的鲁棒推断问题。部分指定定义了一组可容许分布，目标是确定这些可容许分布下统计量的极值，这些统计量即目标函数，是解析函数、连续函数、分段连续函数以及分段连续函数的一致极限的期望之比。我们证明，极值由可容许分布序列逼近，其极限极值分布由支撑位置上的不动点条件表征，这明确了极值分布放置概率质量的位置，并为求解相应优化问题提供了实用计算框架。我们建立了所得极值分布和极值目标函数值的收敛性与渐近性质。本工作通过在统一框架内结合极值分布约简、不动点表征及基于近似的分析，扩展了鲁棒推断方法（如鲁棒贝叶斯推断）。
英文摘要
We present a methodological framework for solving robust inference problems with partially specified distributions over measurable subsets of a parameter space. Partial specifications define a set of admissible distributions. The goal is to determine extremal values (over these admissible distributions) for statistical quantities, where these quantities---these objective functions---are ratios of expectations of analytic functions, continuous functions, piecewise continuous functions, and uniform limits of piecewise continuous functions. We show that extremal values are approached by sequences of admissible distributions, whose limiting extremal distributions are characterised by fixed-point conditions on their support locations. This characterises where extremal distributions place probability mass and yields a practical computational framework for solving the corresponding optimisation problems. We establish convergence and asymptotic properties of the resulting extremal distributions and extremal objective function values. This work extends robust inference methods (e.g. robust Bayesian inference) by combining extremal-distribution reduction, fixed-point characterisation, and approximation-based analysis within a unified framework.
