The paper deals with the problem of the estimation of an unknown probability from a finite number of experiments. We propose a normative (axiomatic) solution that restricts the class of admissible estimators to a one-parameter family. Moreover this solution coincides with the one obtained from Bayes
Let Yi -N(Bi, o?), i = 1, . . . , p, be independently distributed, where Bi and of are unknown. A Bayesian approach is used to estimate the first two moments of the minimum order statistic, W = min( Y I , . . . , Y,). In order to compute the Bayes estimates, one has to evaluate the predictive densit
