For the simultaneous estimation of several Poisson parameters under the loss function , we prove the existence of sequential estimators which are better both in risk (expected loss) and sample size than the usual estimator (the sample mean) of a given fixed sample size. Sequential versions of Clevenson-Zidek estimators are used to produce two-stage sequential estimators with the desired property.
