Abstract:
Two Bayesian players are engaged in a multi-stage competition where the final goal for each of them is to estimate the mean $ mu$ of a Normal distribution $ mathcal{N}$ with variance equal to 1, minimizing the total costs due to sampling and variance of the posterior distribution of $ mu$.
