Abstract
We study coconut plant growth in saline soil of Sunderban, West Bengal. Two growth environments are compared by Mahalanobis distance. Jeffreys’ noninformative prior and related matching priors are investigated in relation to cases including bi-exponential distribution for first principal component in the analyzed data. Fisher’s information I(\(\theta \)) is seen to be a measure of distribution sensitivity in terms of chi-square distance, extending a result given in Rao (1974).
