Abstract

We consider some robust Bayes estimators using ML-II priors as well as certain empirical Bayes estimators in estimating the finite population mean. The proposed estimators are compared with the sample mean and subjective Bayes estimators in terms of "posterior robustness" and "procedure robustness".re robustness".uot;.
