7. Let (0, ), let & be the real line, and let L(0, a) - (0-a)². Let the distribution of X be Poisson with parameter 0 > 0, fx (x | 6). 20, 1, 2, . Take as the prior distribution of 6 the gamma distribution (a, 8) (see Section 3.1) with density g(6)=((a)) for > 0, where a 0 and ẞ> 0. (a) Show that the posterior distribution of 8 given X = x is the gamma distribution G(a + x, B/(8 + 1)). (b) The first two moments of the gamma distribution g(a, 3) are aß and a (a+1)ẞ2. Show that the Bayes rule with respect to G(a, 3) is das(x) =ẞ(a + x)/(ẞ+1). (c) Show that the usual (maximum likelihood) estimate d(x) = x is not a Bayes rule. Note that if = [0, ∞), d(x) = x will be a Bayes rule. (d) Show that the rule d(x) = x is a limit of Bayes rules. (0) (e) Show that the rule d(x) = x is a generalized Bayes rule with respect to the measure log 0 [or dr (0) = (1/0) de]. (f) Show that the rule d(x) =x is an extended Bayes rule. 1.8.7. (a) The joint density of 0 and X is = h(0.x)=fx(x0)g(0) =e/a! ((a)) for x=0,1,... and 9>0. Hence g(r) is proportional to e-((0+1)/2) ga+x-1 for >0, which makes g(er) the gamma distribution G(a+1,3/(3+1)). (b) Since the loss is squared error, we have d...a(r) = E(r) = (a+r)3/(3+1). (c) If d() is Bayes with respect to r, then r(r,d) 0. On the other hand, r(r,d) = E(0-X)²= E(E((0-X)20)) E(e). If e=(0, 0), then E() > 0, since >0. But if e [0, oc), then E(0) can be zero, and in fact, d, or any rule d such that d(0) = 0, is Bayes with respect to the distribution degenerate at 0. (For 8=0. P(6) is defined to be degenerate at 0.) (d) das(x)=(a+1)/(+1)d(x)= as a 0 and 3→∞. (e) We want to find d to minimize (0-1)²-00 (1/0) do Vo If z=0, then this integral is + unless d=0. Hence, d(0)=0. If > 0, then minimizing this integral is equivalent to finding d to minimize E6-d)2 when 0 has the distribution G(r. 1), and so d(z) = 1. (f) Given >0. let 7. be the gamma distribution G(1,). Then, r(d)=E(0-d(x)) = E(E{(0-X)²|0}) =E(Var(X0))=E(6) = €. Since the minimum Bayes risk cannot be negative, d certainly comes within e of minimizing the Bayes risk. Since is arbitrary, d is extended Bayes. (The same must be true of any rule d such that d(0) = 0.)
