Abstract

Two concepts of optimality corresponding to Bayesian robust analysis are considered: conditional Γ-minimaxity and stability. Conditions for coincidence of optimal decisions of both kinds are stated.

Keywords

conditional Γ-minimax action, stability of a statistical procedure, robust Bayesian analysis
