Bayes sequential estimation procedures for exponential-type processes

Ryszard Magiera (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The Bayesian sequential estimation problem for an exponential family of processes is considered. Using a weighted square error loss and observing cost involving a linear function of the process, the Bayes sequential procedures are derived.

Some investigations in minimax estimation theory

Stanisław Trybuła

Similarity:

1. IntroductionThough the theory of minimax estimation was originated about thirty five years ago (see [7], [8], [9], [23]), there are still many unsolved problems in this area. Several papers have been devoted to statistical games in which the set of a priori distributions of the parameter was suitably restricted ([2], [10], [13]). Recently, special attention was paid to the problem of admissibility ([24], [3], [11], [12]).This paper is devoted to the problem of determining minimax...

The Bayes sequential estimation of a normal mean from delayed observations

Alicja Jokiel-Rokita (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of estimating the mean of a normal distribution is considered in the special case when the data arrive at random times. Certain classes of Bayes sequential estimation procedures are derived under LINEX and reflected normal loss function and with the observation cost determined by a function of the stopping time and the number of observations up to this time.

Information inequalities for the minimax risk of sequential estimators (with applications)

Lesław Gajek, B. Mizera-Florczak (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Information inequalities for the minimax risk of sequential estimators are derived in the case where the loss is measured by the squared error of estimation plus a linear functional of the number of observations. The results are applied to construct minimax sequential estimators of: the failure rate in an exponential model with censored data, the expected proportion of uncensored observations in the proportional hazards model, the odds ratio in a binomial distribution and the expectation...
