I am having a go at a tricky question from the Q&A bank on loss and decision functions (i.e. similar to the previous exam question on chilli's from April 2010).
However I am struggling with the calculation of some of the loss functions in part (ii), and my main issue centres around why P( a2 | Theta_1=1/4) = 3/4. Would anyone be able to explain this in a little more detail?
I also don't understand why, of the nine decision functions in part (ii), some decisions are repeated but decisions such as choosing theta to be 0.75 if x=0 and 0.25 if x=1 are missing.
If I get my head around this I think this will all make a lot more sense!
