Admissible and minimax estimators of $$\lambda ^ r$$ in the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space. (English) Zbl 0611.62026
The paper contains a criterion for minimaxity of estimators for the parameter $$\lambda^ r$$ of the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space. A further result explicitly gives admissible estimators for the same problem. The results are applied to several other classes of distributions.
