Abstract: |
In this paper we consider a family of discrete distributions fθ(x)dμ(x), and suppose that the Bayes estimate of φ(θ) with respect to the priori distribution H∈H has a form dH(x) =(?)ak(x)f(x k)/f(x). where f(x)=∫fθdH(θ) . we construct asequence of empirical Bayes estimates and establish its rate of convergence, and prove that under suitable conditions this rate of convergence can arbitrarily close to 1. we also give a counter-example to the main Theorem 2.1 of [5], and then declare that the "Theorem" does not hold. |
