Estimation of the mean vector in a singular multivariate normal distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of estimating the mean vector of a singular multivariate normal distribution with an unknown singular covariance matrix. The maximum likelihood estimator is shown to be minimax relative to a quadratic loss weighted by the Moore-Penrose inverse of the covariance matrix. An unbiased risk estimator relative to the weighted quadratic loss is provided for a Baranchik type class of shrinkage estimators. Based on the unbiased risk estimator, a sufficient condition for the minimaxity is expressed not only as a differential inequality, but also as an integral inequality. Also, generalized Bayes minimax estimators are established by using an interesting structure of singular multivariate normal distribution.

Invariant Empirical Bayes Confidence Interval for Mean Vector of Normal Distribution and its Generalization for Exponential Family
Based on a given Bayesian model of multivariate normal with known variance matrix we will find an empirical Bayes confidence interval for the mean vector components which have normal distribution. We will find this empirical Bayes confidence interval as a conditional form on ancillary statistic. In both cases (i.e. conditional and unconditional empirical Bayes confidence interval), the empiri...

The production of a process is expected to meet customer demands, specifications or engineering tolerances. The ability of a process to meet these expectations is expresed as a single number using a process capability index. When the quality of the products relates to more than one characteristic, multivariate process capability indices are applied. As it is known, in some circumstances we are ...

Estimation of PC-MRI Pressure Map Using Integral Form of Governing Equations and Spline Segments
In this paper, the boundary-based estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular system is investigated using two dimensional flow images. The conventional methods of non-invasive estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular flow domain use the differential form of governing equations. This study evaluates the advantages of using the integral form of the equations in the...
