(Following Hogg, McKean & OCraig, exercise 11.2.2)
Let X1, X2, ..., X10 be a random sample from a gamma distribution with a = 3 and ß = 1/0.
Suppose we believe that e follows a gamma-distribution with a = 3 and B = 2:
a) Find the posterior distribution of 0.
b) If the observed x = 18.2, what is the Bayes point estimate associated with the
square-error loss function?
c) What is the Bayes point estimate using the mode of the posterior distribution?
