The performance of established and modified compound decision rules
既有与修正复合决策规则的表现
The performance of compound rules when applied in various particular decision problems is discussed, and further information is presented. As an alternative to using one of the established compound rules, it is proposed that, for a small number of components, the statistician might choose between a compound rule and the minimax rule on the basis of the observations. Finally, the effect on the compound risk of discarding early observations is investigated.
