Abstract

top
Lehmann in [4] has generalised the notion of the unbiased estimator with respect to the assumed loss function. In [5] Singh considered admissible estimators of function λ-r of unknown parameter λ of gamma distribution with density f(x|λ, b) = λb-1 e-λx xb-1 / Γ(b), x>0, where b is a known parameter, for loss function L(λ-r, λ-r) = (λ-r - λ-r)2 / λ-2r.Goodman in [1] choosing three loss functions of different shape found unbiased Lehmann-estimators, of the variance σ2 of the normal distribution. In particular for quadratic loss function he took weight of the form K(σ2) = C and K(σ2) = (σ2)-2 only.In this work we obtained the class of all unbiased Lehmann-estimators of the variance λ2 of the exponential distribution, among estimators of the form α(n) (Σ1n Xi)2 -i.e. functions of the sufficient statistics- with quadratic loss function with weight of the form K(λ2) = C(λ2)C1, C > 0.
