Under loss , assume . The posterior expected loss is a positive constant times ordinary absolute-error loss under the probability density proportional to . Its minimizers are the medians of that weighted posterior: slopes of the loss change sign where the weighted probability below crosses one half. In particular, relative absolute loss has for positive parameters. For a Gamma distribution posterior of shape two and rate , the weighted posterior is an exponential distribution of rate , so the estimate is .
