Abstract: | LetY be distributed according to ann-variate normal distribution with a meanX and a nonsingular covariance matrix

is admissible for rank (F)=k4 and inadmissible fork 5 with the squared error loss
. When is unknown and rank (X) <n, it is established that the loss estimatorcS

is admissible fork 4, and inadmissible fork 5 with squared error loss.This project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. |
