Abstract

The Bayesian sequential estimation problem for k parameters exponential families is considered using loss related to the Fisher information. Tractable expressions for the Bayes estimator and the posterior expected loss are found, and the myopic or one-step-ahead stopping rule is defined. Sufficient conditions are given for optimality of the myopic procedure, and the myopic procedure is shown to be asymptotically optimal in all cases considered.
