摘要
An estimation problem of the mean mu of an inverse Gaussian distribution I(mu,a-2-mu) with known coefficient of variation a is treated as a decision problem with loss functions which are invariant under scale changes. A class of Bayes estimators is proposed. It is shown that the equivariant estimators are minimax.
