abstract

the problem of estimating the parameter ?, when it is restricted to an interval of the form , in a class of discrete distributions, including binomial negative binomial discrete weibull and etc., is considered. we give necessary and sufficient conditions for which the bayes estimator of with respect to a two points boundary supported prior is minimax under squared log error loss function. for some of the distributions in this class, we give numerical values of the smallest values of for which the corresponding bayes estimator of is minimax.

Admissible and Minimax Estimator of the Parameter $theta$ in a Binomial $Bin( n ,theta)$ ­distribution under Squared Log Error Loss Function in a Lower Bounded Parameter Space

Extended Abstract. The study of truncated parameter space in general is of interest for the following reasons: 1.They often occur in practice. In many cases certain parameter values can be excluded from the parameter space. Nearly all problems in practice have a truncated parameter space and it is most impossible to argue in practice that a parameter is not bounded. In truncated parameter...

An Admissible Estimator of a Lower-bounded Scale Parameter under Squared-log Error Loss Function

Estimation in truncated parameter space is one of the most important features in statistical inference, because the frequently used criterion of unbiasedness is useless, since no unbiased estimator exists in general. So, other optimally criteria such as admissibility and minimaxity have to be looked for among others. In this paper we consider a subclass of the exponential families of distributi...

Admissibility in a One Parameter Non-regular Family with Squared-log Error Loss Function

‎Consider an estimation problem in a one-parameter non-regular distribution when both endpoints of the support depend on a single parameter‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we give sufficient conditions for a generalized Bayes estimator of a parametric function to be admissible‎. ‎Some examples are given‎. ‎
