Let \(X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{n}\) denote a random sample from a distribution that is \(b(1, \theta), 0 \leq \theta \leq 1 .\) Let \(Y=\sum_{1}^{n} X_{i}\) and let \(\mathcal{L}[\theta, \delta(y)]=[\theta-\delta(y)]^{2} .\) Consider decision functions of the form \(\delta(y)=b y\), where \(b\) does not depend upon \(y .\) Prove that \(R(\theta, \delta)=b^{2} n \theta(1-\theta)+(b n-1)^{2} \theta^{2}\). Show that $$\max _{\theta} R(\theta, \delta)=\frac{b^{4} n^{2}}{4\left[b^{2} n-(b n-- 1)^{2}\right]}$$ provided that the value \(b\) is such that \(b^{2} n \geq 2(b n-1)^{2} .\) Prove that \(b=1 / n\) does not maximize \(\max _{\theta} R(\theta, \delta)\).
Consider the family of probability density functions \(\\{h(z ; \theta): \theta
\in \Omega\\}\), where \(h(z ; \theta)=1 / \theta, 0

gamma distribution that has pdf \(f(x ; \theta)=(1 / \theta) e^{-x / \theta},
