Il est courant, en inférence fréquentielle, d'utiliser un point unique (une estimation ponctuelle) ou un intervalle (intervalle de confiance) dans le but d'estimer un paramètre d'intér^t. Une question très simple se pose: peut-on également utiliser, dans le même but, et dans la même optique fréquentielle, à la façon dont les Bayésiens utilisent une loi a posteriori, une distribution de probabilité? La réponse est affirmative, et les distributions de confiance apparaissent comme un choix naturel dans ce contexte. Le concept de distribution de confiance a une longue histoire, longtemps associée, à tort, aux théories d'inférence fiducielle, ce qui a compromis son développement dans l'optique fréquentielle. Les distributions de confiance ont récemment attiré un regain d'intérêt, et plusieurs résultats ont mis en évidence leur potentiel considérable en tant qu'outil inférentiel.

In frequentist inference, we commonly use a single point (point estimator) or an interval (confidence interval/“interval estimator”) to estimate a parameter of interest. A very simple question is:
          
            Can we also use a distribution function (“distribution estimator”) to estimate a parameter of interest in frequentist inference in the style of a Bayesian posterior?
          
          The answer is affirmative, and confidence distribution is a natural choice of such a “distribution estimator”. The concept of a confidence distribution has a long history, and its interpretation has long been fused with fiducial inference. Historically, it has been misconstrued as a fiducial concept, and has not been fully developed in the frequentist framework. In recent years, confidence distribution has attracted a surge of renewed attention, and several developments have highlighted its promising potential as an effective inferential tool.
This article reviews recent developments of confidence distributions, along with a modern definition and interpretation of the concept. It includes distributional inference based on confidence distributions and its extensions, optimality issues and their applications. Based on the new developments, the concept of a confidence distribution subsumes and unifies a wide range of examples, from regular parametric (fiducial distribution) examples to bootstrap distributions, significance (p-value) functions, normalized likelihood functions, and, in some cases, Bayesian priors and posteriors. The discussion is entirely within the school of frequentist inference, with emphasis on applications providing useful statistical inference tools for problems where frequentist methods with good properties were previously unavailable or could not be easily obtained. Although it also draws attention to some of the differences and similarities among frequentist, fiducial and Bayesian approaches, the review is not intended to re-open the philosophical debate that has lasted more than two hundred years. On the contrary, it is hoped that the article will help bridge the gaps between these different statistical procedures.

Dans cet travail on discute une connexion entre les mathématiques financières et la modélisation statistique. On trouve qu’il y a plus qu’une correspondance formelle.

Un actif financier positif avec l’hypothèse d’absence d’opportunités d’arbitrage permet une représentation par une expérience statistique ou, pour le dire dans une façon plus précise, par un processus de likelihood ratios filtré.

<div class="para" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><b>Summarizing the effect of many covariates through a few linear combinations is an effective way of reducing covariate dimension and is the backbone of (sufficient) dimension reduction. Because the replacement of high-dimensional covariates by low-dimensional linear combinations is performed with a minimum assumption on the specific regression form, it enjoys attractive advantages as well as encounters unique challenges in comparison with the variable selection approach. We review the current literature of dimension reduction with an emphasis on the two most popular models, where the dimension reduction affects the conditional distribution and the conditional mean, respectively. We discuss various estimation and inference procedures in different levels of detail, with the intention of focusing on their underneath idea instead of technicalities. We also discuss some unsolved problems in this area for potential future research.</b></p></div>

Nous passons en revue la littérature existante sur ce sujet, en mettant l'accent sur les modèles les plus courants, dans lesquels la réduction de dimension affecte l'espérance conditionnelle de la réponse ou sa loi conditionnelle tout entière. Nous discutons plusieurs méthodes d'estimation et d'inférence, en insistant sur les idées sous-jacentes plutôt que sur les aspects techniques. Nous présentons également quelques problèmes non résolus et thèmes de recherches futures dans ce domaine.


Summarizing the effect of many covariates through a few linear combinations is an effective way of reducing covariate dimension and is the backbone of (sufficient) dimension reduction. Because the replacement of high-dimensional covariates by low-dimensional linear combinations is performed with a minimum assumption on the specific regression form, it enjoys attractive advantages as well as encounters unique challenges in comparison with the variable selection approach. We review the current literature of dimension reduction with an emphasis on the two most popular models, where the dimension reduction affects the conditional distribution and the conditional mean, respectively. We discuss various estimation and inference procedures in different levels of detail, with the intention of focusing on their underneath idea instead of technicalities. We also discuss some unsolved problems in this area for potential future research.
