Abstract

The problem of minimax estimation of a parameter ${\theta }$ when ${\theta }$ is restricted to a finite interval $[{\theta }_0,{\theta }_0+m]$ is studied. The case of a convex loss function is considered. Sufficient conditions for existence of a minimax estimator which is a Bayes estimator with respect to a prior concentrated in two points ${\theta }_0$ and ${\theta }_0+m$ are obtained. An example is presented.
