Can a least favorable prior be an improper prior? My impression is that it
can, but it seems not true from the proof of the following theorem.
The theorem is: if Delta0 is a Bayes rule w.r.t. proper prior Pi0, and R(
theta, Delta0) <= r(Pi0, Delta0) for any theta. Then Pi0 is least favorable.
One of the steps of the proof is: integral of "R(delta0, the |
