Aug 2, 2020 at 15:32 comment added Josh Thanks @Xi'an I just fixed the comment: Re-posting: this is a great answer (BTW I love your book!). QQ on the above, where does Empirical risk fit above? I know it's a Monte Carlo approximation of a type of statistical risk, but which type?
Aug 2, 2020 at 14:10 comment added Xi'an @Josh: I am afraid I do not see the link with empirical risk in either question or answer.

Mar 27, 2018 at 15:40 comment added Xi'an Yes, this is a correct summary. And the Bayes estimate is found by minimising the posterior expected risk for each value of $x$, provided Fubini's theorem applies.
Mar 27, 2018 at 15:23 comment added user32849 Thanks! So to clarify: Bayes risk in 1. = your posterior expected loss, risk in 2. = your frequentist risk, Bayes risk in 2. = your integrated risk, and the risk attained by the minimizing (Bayes) estimator for 2. = your Bayes risk, correct? Also, is it true that $\delta^\pi$ always minimizes both globally as well as for each $x$, as you seem to imply?
