Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1973 AbstractIn this paper the author tries to give general conditions for the existence of Bayes estimates and for the consistency of sequences of Bayes estimates.In Section 3 we prove existence theorems for Bayes estimates, which contain those of DeGroot and Rao [3], as a special case.

Empirical Bayes methodology for estimating equipment failure rates with application to power generation plants [PDF]
, 2008 Many reliability databases pool event data for equipment across different plants. Pooling may occur both within and between organizations with the intention of sharing data across common items within similar operating environments to provide better ...

Empirical bayes estimates of development reliability for one shot devices [PDF]
, 2009 This article describes a method for estimating the reliability of a system under development that is an evolution of previous designs. We present an approach to making effective use of heritage data from similar operational systems to estimate ...

Merging expert and empirical data for rare event frequency estimation : pool homogenisation for empirical Bayes models [PDF]
, 2011 Empirical Bayes provides one approach to estimating the frequency of rare events as a weighted average of the frequencies of an event and a pool of events. The pool will draw upon, for example, events with similar precursors.

Evaluation of elicitation methods to quantify Bayes linear models [PDF]
, 2010 The Bayes linear methodology allows decision makers to express their subjective beliefs and adjust these beliefs as observations are made. It is similar in spirit to probabilistic Bayesian approaches, but differs as it uses expectation as its primitive ...

Bayes Estimators for Phylogenetic Reconstruction [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2011 Tree reconstruction methods are often judged by their accuracy, measured by how close they get to the true tree. Yet most reconstruction methods like ML do not explicitly maximize this accuracy. To address this problem, we propose a Bayesian solution.

Estimating rate of occurrence of rare events with empirical Bayes : a railway application [PDF]
, 2007 Classical approaches to estimating the rate of occurrence of events perform poorly when data are few. Maximum likelihood estimators result in overly optimistic point estimates of zero for situations where there have been no events.

Axioms, 2023 Generalized progressively Type-II hybrid strategy has been suggested to save both the duration and cost of a life test when the experimenter aims to score a fixed number of failed units.

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1967 Throughout this paper we are concerned with the problem of estimating a real parameter when the loss function is such that the Bayes estimate exists, is unique, and satisfies a simple Equation, (1.5). If the estimate is unbiased (in the general sense of Lehmann [3]) we show under weak conditions that it must satisfy another Equation, (1.14).
