Incidental Versus Random Nuisance Parameters
附带干扰参数与随机干扰参数
Let $\{P_{\vartheta,\eta}:(\vartheta, \eta) \in \Theta \times H\}$, with $\Theta \subset \mathbb{R}$ and H arbitrary, be a family of mutually absolutely continuous probability measures on a measurable space $(X, \mathscr{A})$. The problem is to estimate $\vartheta$, based on a sample $(x_1, \cdots, x_n)$ from $\times^n_1 P_{\vartheta,\eta_\nu}$. If $(\eta_1, \cdots, \eta_n)$ are independently distributed according to some unknown prior distribution $\Gamma$, then the…
