Complete classes of two-stage estimation procedures for certain finite sample problems

Abstract

dc:description

Two-stage Bayes procedures, also known as Bayes double sample procedures, for estimating the mean of exponential family distributions are given by Cohen and Sackrowitz (1984). In their study, they develop double sample Bayes estimation procedures for the mean of exponential family distributions with respect to conjugate prior distributions. The procedures consist of stating $n\sb1$, the size of the first sample; $n\sb2$, the size of the second sample which depends on the data from the first sample; and finally the point estimate, which depends on the combined sample. The loss functions usually are linear combinations of loss due to terminal decision and loss due to sampling. They find the optimal second sample size as well as the optimal first sample size.
