Empirical Bayes Estimators with Uncertainty Measures for NEF-QVF Populations
The paper proposes empirical Bayes (EB) estimators for simultaneous estimation of means in the natural exponential family (NEF) with quadratic variance functions (QVF) models. Morris (1982, 1983a) characterized the NEF-QVF distributions which include among others the binomial, Poisson and normal distributions. In addition to the EB estimators, we provide approximations to the MSE’s of t...
متن کاملGeneral Maximum Likelihood Empirical Bayes Estimation of Normal Means
We propose a general maximum likelihood empirical Bayes (GMLEB) method for the estimation of a mean vector based on observations with iid normal errors. We prove that under mild moment conditions on the means, the average mean squared error (MSE) of the GMLEB is within an infinitesimal fraction of the minimum average MSE among all separable estimators which use a single deterministic estimating...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes and Compound Estimation of Normal Means
This article concerns the canonical empirical Bayes problem of estimating normal means under squared-error loss. General empirical estimators are derived which are asymptotically minimax and optimal. Uniform convergence and the speed of convergence are considered. The general empirical Bayes estimators are compared with the shrinkage estimators of Stein (1956) and James and Stein (1961). Estima...
متن کاملMinimax estimators of a normal variance
In the estimation problem of unknown variance of a multivariate normal distribution, a new class of minimax estimators is obtained. It is noted that a sequence of estimators in our class converges to the Stein’s truncated estimator.
متن کاملA new class of generalized Bayes minimax ridge regression estimators
Let y = Aβ + ε, where y is an N × 1 vector of observations, β is a p× 1 vector of unknown regression coefficients, A is an N × p design matrix and ε is a spherically symmetric error term with unknown scale parameter σ. We consider estimation of β under general quadratic loss functions, and, in particular, extend the work of Strawderman [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 73 (1978) 623–627] and Casella [A...
