Let the variate X have exponential density f(x/w) = c(w) s(x) exp( m(w)t(x) ) a < x < b and suppose that the estimate d(x) of m(w) incurs squared error loss L(d,m) = (d(x) - m(w))^2. Can someone supply me with a reference which summarizes work done in answering the question "When is d(X)=X an admissible estimate of m(w)?" I am especially interested in the special case where X has a density which belongs the four parameter Pearson class where only the mode is unknown. Thanks in advance for any information you can send along. Roger Johnson/Naval Ocean Systems Center/Code 632/San Diego, Ca 92152 -- Roger Johnson 2150 Pacific Beach Drive, Apt 207 San Diego, Ca 92109
