A Note on Admissibility and Finite Admissibility in Estimation

Consider the problem of estimating the parameter of the model in which an observable random variable is represented by a unknown scalar parameter plus another random variable and the parameter, sample, and decision spaces consist of all integers. We first characterize the class of all admissible estimators and then characterize the class of all finitely admissible estimators. Finally, we show that two classes are identical.
