β¦ Synopsis
In this article we investigate the estimation problem of the population mean of a ΓΏnite population. Both point and interval estimators are of interest from Bayes and empirical Bayes point of views. Empirical Bayes analysis is concerned with the 'current' population mean, say m,

A mean-squared error comparison of smooth empirical Bayes and Bayes estimators for the Weibull and gamma scale parameters is studied based on a computer simulation. The smooth empirical Bayes estimators are determined as functions of up to 15 past estimates of the parameter of interest. Results indi
This paper presents a fully parametric empirical Bayes approach for the analysis of count data, with emphasis on its application to environmental toxicity data. A hierarchical structure for the mean response is developed from a generalized linear model, based on a Poisson distribution. The linear pr
