Empirical bayes testing of a distribution function with d1richlet process priors
V. Susarla, E. G. Phadia William · Communication in Statistics- Theory and Methods · 1976
This paper considers the generalised empirical Bayes two-action (testing) and multiple action problems concerning a distribution function The Dirichiet process priors p of Ferguson have been used as the prior distributions on the space of distribution functions on the real line. The two-action component problem is considered in detail and when p is unknown partially empirical Bayes procedures {6 } which are asymptotically optimal with rates 0{jT1/2) and OCCmCn+l))
