Abstract or Description

In this note, results on the lower bound for the Bayes risk due to estimation of the mean difference of two populations belonging to the exponential family and expected cost are presented and shown to be of first order efficiency. Comparisons of the random and best fixed designs for the estimation of the mean difference of two Poisson distributions as well as the exponential distributions using gamma priors are presented. Numerical results are also given.
