Multivariate limited translation hierarchical Bayes estimators
Based on the notion of predictive influence functions, the paper develops multivariate limited translation hierarchical Bayes estimators of the normal mean vector which serve as a compromise between the hierarchical Bayes and maximum likelihood estimators. The paper demonstrates the superiority of the limited translation estimators over the usual hierarchical Bayes estimators in terms of the fr...
متن کاملUnbiasedness and Bayes Estimators
A simple geometric representation of Bayes and unbiased rules for squared error loss is provided. Some orthogonality relationships between them and the functions they are estimating are proved. Bayes estimators are shown to be behave asymptotically like unbiased estimators.
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملBayes’ estimators of generalized entropies
The order-q Tsallis (Hq ) and Rényi entropy (Kq ) receive broad applications in the statistical analysis of complex phenomena. A generic problem arises, however, when these entropies need to be estimated from observed data. The finite size of data sets can lead to serious systematic and statistical errors in numerical estimates. In this paper, we focus upon the problem of estimating generalized...
متن کاملBayes estimators for phylogenetic reconstruction
Tree reconstruction methods are often judged by their accuracy, measured by how close they get to the true tree. Yet, most reconstruction methods like maximum likelihood (ML) do not explicitly maximize this accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a Bayesian solution. Given tree samples, we propose finding the tree estimate that is closest on average to the samples. This "median" tree is k...
