Abstract

This paper discusses measures of loss robustness which could facilitate the specification of a loss function for estimating an unknown risk parameter. In particular risk robustness and posterior loss robustness are defined and it is shown that for the gamma distribution the Fisher-weighted squared-error loss function is robust in both senses.
