Abstract
 Information inequalities have many applications in estimation theory and statistical decision making. This paper describes
 the application of an information inequality to make the minimax decision in the framework of Bayesian theory. In this way,
 first a fundamental inequality for Bayesian risk is introduced under the square error loss function and then its applications
 are expressed in determining asymptotically and locally minimax estimators in the case of univariate and multivariate. In
 the case that the parameter components are orthogonal, the asymptotic-local minimax estimators are obtained for a function
 of the mean vector and the covariance matrix in the multivariate normal distribution. In the end, the bounds of information
 inequality are calculated under a general loss function.
