Abstract(in English) Online prediction methods sequentially predict furure data from time series data. Since online pre-diction does not need to keep past data, it is very useful for solving the concern of insufficient storage to storedata necessary for prediction. It is also necessary for neuroscience and communication engineering to predict thesequence of Bernoulli probabilities from binary sequences representing the presence or absence of events. Recently, an online prediction method incorporating the smoothness of prediction sequences into the concept of regret inonline prediction has been proposed. However, the derivation of the method strongly depends on the squared errorfunction, and it was considered difficult to use other error functions. In this study, we propose an online predictionmethod of varying Bernoulli process by variational approximation of the error function for binary data.
