A Numerical Comparison of Some BAYESian Methods of Estimating a Binomial Parameter |
|
| Authors: | P. W. Jones |
| Abstract: | This note considers the optimal and suboptimal sequential and fixed sample size estimation of the unknown binomial parameter, p, for a beta prior distribution for p and under quadratic loss and constant observation cost. A numerical comparison of the methods is presented. |
