Abstract:   (21546 Views)

In this paper, a new class of estimators namely Constrained Bayes Estimators are obtained under Balanced Loss Function (BLF) and Weighted Balanced Loss Function (WBLF) using a ``Bayesian solution". The Constrained Bayes Estimators are calculated for the natural parameter of one-parameter exponential families of distributions. A common approach to the prior uncertainty in Bayesian analysis is to choose a class $Gamma$ of prior distributions and look for an optimal decision within the class $Gamma$. This is known as robust Bayesian methodology. Among several methods of choosing the optimal rules in the context of the robust Bayes method, we discuss obtaining Posterior Regret Constrained Gamma-Minimax (PRCGM) rule under Squared Error Loss and then employing the ``Bayesian solution", we obtain the optimal rules under BLF and WBLF.

Keywords: Balanced and Weighted Balanced Loss Functions, Constrained Bayes Estimators, One-parameter exponential family, Posterior Regret, Posterior Regret Constrained Gamma-Minimax.
