On the Tightness of the Laplace Approximation for Statistical Inference
Abstract
Laplace's method is used to approximate intractable integrals in a statistical problems. The relative error rate of the approximation is not worse than Op(n-1). We provide the first statistical lower bounds showing that the n-1 rate is tight.
