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 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 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 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...
متن کاملComparison of linear shrinkage estimators of a large covariance matrix in normal and non-normal distributions
The problem of estimating the large covariance matrix of both normal and nonnormal distributions is addressed. In convex combinations of the sample covariance matrix and the identity matrix multiplied by a scalor statistic, we suggest a new estimator of the optimal weight based on exact or approximately unbiased estimators of the numerator and denominator of the optimal weight in non-normal cas...
