Another Class of Minimax Estimators of A Variance Covariance Matrix in Multivariate Normal Distribution
It is well known that the best equivariant estimator of a variance covari-ance matrix of multivariate normal distribution with respect to the full ane group of transformation is not even minimax. Some minimax estimators have been proposed. Here we treat this problem in the framework of a multivari-ate analysis of variance(MANOVA) model and give other classes of minimax estimators.
متن کاملAdmissible estimator of the eigenvalues of the variance-covariance matrix for multivariate normal distributions
An admissible estimator of the eigenvalues of the variance-covariance matrix is given for multivariate normal distributions with respect to the scale-invariant squared error loss. AMS(2000) Subject Classification: Primary 62C15; Secondary 62F10
متن کاملOrthogonally Invariant Estimation of the Skew-symmetric Normal Mean Matrix
A b s t r a c t. The unbiased estimator of risk of the orthogonally invariant es-timator of the skew-symmetric normal mean matrix is obtained, and a class of minimax estimators and their order-preserving modification are proposed. The estimators have applications in paired comparisons model. A Monte Carlo study to compare the risks of the estimators is given.
متن کاملCOVARIANCE MATRIX OF MULTIVARIATE REWARD PROCESSES WITH NONLINEAR REWARD FUNCTIONS
Multivariate reward processes with reward functions of constant rates, defined on a semi-Markov process, first were studied by Masuda and Sumita, 1991. Reward processes with nonlinear reward functions were introduced in Soltani, 1996. In this work we study a multivariate process , , where are reward processes with nonlinear reward functions respectively. The Laplace transform of the covar...
