Abstract:We study frequentist risk properties of predictive density estimators for mean mixtures of multivariate normal distributions, involving an unknown location parameter θ ∈ R d , and which include multivariate skew normal distributions. We provide explicit representations for Bayesian posterior and predictive densities, including the benchmark minimum risk equivariant (MRE) density, which is minimax and generalized Bayes with respect to an improper uniform density for θ. For four dimensions or more, we obtain Bay… Show more
