| Research Abstract |
Let a multivariate normal distribuion have mean mu and covariance matrix SIGMA and we assume both parameters are unknown. We consider the estimating problem of mean mu. Its loss function is the sum of squared loss and cost x no. of sample. As the prior distribution, we take a conjugate distribution. At this time we want to find the esimation of/and stopping rule which minimizes the expectation loss. It is difficult to find the stopping rule. So when c * 0, we define A.P.O.rule which is nearly optimal rule. When we choose this rule, we give the asymptotic expansion of the risk. It can be expressed with the power of ROO<c>. To get it, we considered it from three points.
(1) When the covariance matrix has some structure, we assume that the matrix can be expressed as the sum of symmmetric matrix. This assumption has been used in the author's paper. We can get the expression of the loss.
(2) We consider the case that the covariance matrix is completely unknown and the same problem as (1). As prior, we choose a conjugate distribution. Then we got the similar results as in (2). From (1) and (2), we find that the result (1) can get putting covariance structure in (2) as if it has such a structure. That shows interresting. Also we get the similar results for multinomnial distribution. The method for caluculating bases on martingale theory and derivatives of matrices.
(3) We consider univariate multi-parameter exponential distribuition. We choose any distribution as prior. Under this assumption, we consider the same problem as (1) and (2). We want to find how the risk can be expressed. After all, we find whether the posteria variance of some function is uniformly integrable. However, we can see it. So we can get the results for general case.
