Abstract:

Consider the problem of selecting independent samples from several populations for the purpose of estimating mean levels. The determination of equal-mean clusters can be stated as a model selection problem, with the uncertainty regarding the true clustering accounted for using Bayesian model averaging. An example is presented where this approach is compared to Stein estimation in an empirical Bayes framework.
