V. Lindley} [Bayesian statistics, Proc. 1st int. Meet., Valencia 1979, 223-245 (1980; Zbl 0458.62002)]. Monte-Carlo simulation was used. These estimates have smaller root-mean- square error than that of their maximum likelihood counterparts. Except for large samples, the exact estimators based on the predictive distribution perform better than the Lindley approximate estimators.}, identifier = {03988561}, }
