A Class of Nonlinear Admissible Estimators in the One-Parameter Exponential Family
单参数指数族中的一类非线性容许估计量
We are concerned with the admissibility of nonlinear estimators of the form $(aX + b)/(cX + d)$ in the one-parameter exponential family, in estimating $g(\theta)$ with quadratic loss. Our method will be reminiscent of that of Karlin who gave sufficient conditions for admissibility of linear estimators $aX$ in estimating the mean in the one-parameter family. Our results generalize those of Ghosh and Meeden who studied admissibility of $aX + b$ for estimating an arbitrary…
