Consider the conjugate density fX(x; ) as given in the previous exercise, where K() is the cumulant
Question:
Consider the conjugate density fX(x; θ) as given in the previous exercise, where K(θ) is the cumulant generating function for f0(x) and K*(x) is its Legendre transform. Show that Eθ {log (
fX(X;θ)
f0(X) )} = K∗ (Eθ (X))
where Ε
θ(.) denotes expectation under the conjugate density. [In this context, K*(Eθ
(X)) is sometimes called the Kutlback-Leibler distance between the conjugate density and the original density
