estimating a bounded normal mean relative to squared error loss function
Authors
abstract
let be a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean and known variance the usual estimator of the mean, i.e., sample mean is the maximum likelihood estimator which under squared error loss function is minimax and admissible estimator. in many practical situations, is known in advance to lie in an interval, say for some in this case, the maximum likelihood estimator changes and dominates but it is no longer admissible. minimax and some other estimators for this problem have been studied by some researchers. in this paper, a new estimator is proposed and the risk function of it is compared with some other competitors. according to our findings, the use of and the maximum likelihood estimator is not recommended when some information are accessible about the finite bounds on in advance. based on the values taken by in , the appropriate estimator is suggested.

Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...
