Abstract(in English) MDL estimators based on two stage codes are studied. The Barron and Cover's theory shows that redundancy ofa two stage code bounds the risk of the MDL estimatordefined by the two stage code. It is known thatcoding regret of two stage codes for exponential familiescan be close to the minimax regret, which is related to stochastic complexity, while it is not for non-exponential families. I this paper, we propose a new method of two stage codes for two componentsmixture families, whose regretcan be close to the minimax regret. The method is based on local exponential family bundles, which are used to evaluate the minimax regret for non-exponential families. Further, we obtain a tight risk bound of MDL estimators for mixture families.
