GENERALIZED BAYES DECISION FUNCTIONS, ADMISSIBILITY AND THE EXPONENTIAL FAMILY.

Abstract

Three types of generalized Bayes decision functions NGBDF, EGBDF, CGBDF are defined and their relationships examined. A sufficient condition is given for the admissibility of a CGBDF. In the context of the exponential family and quadratic loss estimation, a sufficient condition that x/lambda +1)be a CGBDF for the mean is shown to be the same as Karlin's condition for the admissibility of x/(lambda +1).
