mismatch is developed. The bound, which is derived from the variational representation of
the chi-square divergence, is applicable in the Bayesian and nonBayesian frameworks to
biased and unbiased estimators. Unlike other classical MSE bounds that depend only on the
model, our bound is also estimator-dependent. Thus, it is applicable as a tool for
characterizing the MSE of a specific estimator. The proposed bounding technique has a …
