Evaluating default priors with a generalization of Eaton’s Markov chain

Brian P. SheaGalin L. Jones — 2014

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We consider evaluating improper priors in a formal Bayes setting according to the consequences of their use. Let 𝛷 be a class of functions on the parameter space and consider estimating elements of 𝛷 under quadratic loss. If the formal Bayes estimator of every function in 𝛷 is admissible, then the prior is strongly admissible with respect to 𝛷 . Eaton’s method for establishing strong admissibility is based on studying the stability properties of a particular Markov chain associated with the inferential...
