The weight of competence under a realistic loss function
In many scientific, economic and policy-related problems, pieces of information from different sources have to be aggregated. Typically, the sources are not equally competent. This raises the question of how the relative weights and competences should be related to arrive at an optimal final verdict. Our paper addresses this question under a more realistic perspective of measuring the practical...
متن کاملEstimating a Bounded Normal Mean Under the LINEX Loss Function
Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...
متن کاملEstimation of Scale Parameter Under a Bounded Loss Function
The quadratic loss function has been used by decision-theoretic statisticians and economists for many years. In this paper the estimation of scale parameter under a bounded loss function, which is adequate for assessing quality and quality improvement, is considered with restriction to the principles of invariance and risk unbiasedness. An implicit form of minimum risk scale equivariant ...
متن کاملESTIMATION OF SCALE PARAMETER UNDER A REFLECTED GAMMA LOSS FUNCTION
In this paper, the estimation of a scale parameter t under a new and bounded loss function, based on a reflection of the gamma density function, is discussed. The best scale-invariant estimator of tis obtained and the admissibility of all linear functions of the sufficient statistic, for estimating t in the absence of a nuisance parameter, is investigated
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
