Journal of Applied Statistics, 2008, vol. 35, issue 2, 203-211

Abstract: In this paper we derive the predictive density function of a future observation when prior distribution for unknown mean of a normal population is a Type-II maximum likelihood ε-contaminated prior. The derived predictive distribution is applied to the problem of optimization of a regression nature in the decisive prediction framework.
