Empirical Bayes estimation of the binomial parameter

SUMMARY A smooth empirical Bayes estimator for a binomial parameter is derived. The risk in using this estimator is compared by simulation with that of eight other binomial estimators. For those estimators not having a simple closed form risk, suitable regression equations on the simulation parameters are obtained. These equations are used to identify the regions of superiority of each of the estimators. A numerical example is provided.
