Nonparametric Bayes and empirical Bayes estimators of mean residual life at age t

Abstract Nonparametric Bayes and empirical Bayes estimators of the mean residual life at age t (⩾0) using Dirichlet process prior are proposed. The proposed empirical Bayes estimators are proved to be ‘asymptotically optimal’ in the sense of Robbins (1955). The rate of asymptotic convergence of optimality is also obtained.
