  • Abstract
    A hybrid estimator is formulated by combining the estimates from an empirical Bayes estimator and a jackknifed Bayes estimator. This hybrid estimator performs better than the maximum likelihood estimator, when used to estimate the cumulative probability of detection of surveillance radars.
