Abstract
In the empirical Bayes (EB) decision problem consisting of squared error estimation of a Poisson mean, a prior distribution λ is placed on the gamma family of prior distributions to produce Bayes EB estimators which are admissible. A subclass of such estimators is shown to be asymptotically optimal (a.o.). The results of a Monte Carlo study are presented to demonstrate the favorable a.o. property of the Bayes EB estimators in comparison with other competitors.
