Maximal Exponential Manifold
Maximal exponential manifold (P&S‘95)
A Banach manifold is defined so that the cumulant generating
function is well-defined on a neighborhood of each probability density.
Orlicz space Lcosh-1(f)
This space is (perhaps) the most general to guarantee the finiteness of the cumulant generating functions around a point.

Estimation with Data
Estimation with a finite sample
A finite dimensional exponential family is suitable for the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) with a finite sample.
MLE: θ that maximizes
Is MLE extendable to the maximal exponential manifold?
But, the function value u(Xi) is not a continuous functional on u in the exponential manifold.

Reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS)
Ω: set. A Hilbert space H consisting of functions on Ω is called a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) if the evaluation functional
is continuous for each
A Hilbert space H consisting of functions on Ω is a RKHS if and only if there exists (reproducing kernel) such that

Some properties
If the pos. def. kernel k is of Cr, so is every function in Hk.
If the pos. def. kernel k is bounded, so is every function in Hk.

. The system is a -atlas of Mμ(k).
A structure of Hilbert manifold is defined on Mμ(k) with Riemannian metric Ef[uv].
Likelihood functional is continuous.
The function u(x) is decoupled in the inner product
u: natural coordinate, : sufficient statistics
The manifold depends on the choice of k.

Applications of RKEM
Maximum likelihood estimation (IGAIA2005)
Maximum likelihood estimation with regularization is possible.
The consistency of the estimator is proved.
Statistical asymptotic theory of singular models
There are examples of statistical model which is a submodel of an infinite dimensional exponential family, but not
embeddable into a finite dimensional exponential family.
For a submodel of RKEM, developing asymptotic theory of the maximum likelihood estimator is easy.
Geometry of RKEM
Dual connections can be introduced on the tangent bundle in some cases.

Summary
Exponential Hilbert manifolds, which can be infinite dimensional, is defined using reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
From the estimation viewpoint, an interesting class is submodels of infinite dimensional exponential manifolds, which are not
embeddable into a finite dimensional exponential family.
The asymptotic behavior of MLE is analyzed for singular submodels of infinite dimensional exponential manifolds.
