摘要
The problem of estimating the common mean mu of k independent and univariate inverse Gaussian populations IG(mu, lambda-i), i = 1,..., k with unknown and unequal lambda's is considered. The difficulty with the maximum likelihood estimator of mu is pointed out, and a natural estimator mu approximately of mu along the lines of Graybill and Deal is proposed. Various finite sample properties and some decision-theoretic properties of mu approximately are discussed.
