Abstract:
Hammersley J.R.S.S., 1950 proposed d n.i. X bar sub n nearest integer to the sample mean as an estimator of a normal integer mean. It is proved that d is minimax and admissible relative to 0-1 loss. However, relative to squared error loss, the estimator is neither admissible nor minimax. Author
