Necessary conditions for dominating the James-Stein estimator

This paper develops necessary conditions for an estimator to dominate the James-Stein estimator and hence the James-Stein positive-part estimator. The ultimate goal is to find classes of such dominating estimators which are admissible. While there are a number of results giving classes of estimators dominating the James-Stein estimator, the only admissible estimator known to dominate the James-Stein estimator is the generalized Bayes estimator relative to the fundamental harmonic function in three and higher dimension. The prior was suggested by Stein and the domination result is due to Kubokawa. Shao and Strawderman gave a class of estimators dominating the James-Stein positive-part estimator but were unable to demonstrate admissiblity of any in their class. Maruyama, following a suggestion of Stein, has studied generalized Bayes estimators which are members of a point mass at zero and a prior similar to the harmonic prior. He finds a subclass which is minimax and admissible but is unable to show that any in his class with positive point mass at zero dominate the James-Stein estimator. The results in this paper show that a subclass of Maruyama's procedures including the class that Stein conjectured might contain members dominating the James-Stein estimator cannot dominate the James-Stein estimator. We also show that under reasonable conditions, the “constant” in shrinkage factor must approachp-2 for domination to hold.     

Comparisons among some estimators in misspecified linear models with multicollinearity

In this paper we deal with comparisons among several estimators available in situations of multicollinearity (e.g., the r-k class estimator proposed by Baye and Parker, the ordinary ridge regression (ORR) estimator, the principal components regression (PCR) estimator and also the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator) for a misspecified linear model where misspecification is due to omission of some relevant explanatory variables. These comparisons are made in terms of the mean square error (mse) of the estimators of regression coefficients as well as of the predictor of the conditional mean of the dependent variable. It is found that under the same conditions as in the true model, the superiority of the r-k class estimator over the ORR, PCR and OLS estimators and those of the ORR and PCR estimators over the OLS estimator remain unchanged in the misspecified model. Only in the case of comparison between the ORR and PCR estimators, no definite conclusion regarding the mse dominance of one over the other in the misspecified model can be drawn.     

Adaptive Unified Biased Estimators of Parameters in Linear Model

To tackle multi collinearity or ill-conditioned design matrices in linear models,adaptive biasedestimators such as the time-honored Stein estimator,the ridge and the principal component estimators havebeen studied intensively.To study when a biased estimator uniformly outperforms the least squares estimator,some sufficient conditions are proposed in the literature.In this paper,we propose a unified framework toformulate a class of adaptive biased estimators.This class includes all existing biased estimators and some newones.A sufficient condition for outperforming the least squares estimator is proposed.In terms of selectingparameters in the condition,we can obtain all double-type conditions in the literature.     

Estimation of error variance in ANOVA model and order restricted scale parameters

We consider the estimation of error variance in the analysis of experiments using two level orthogonal arrays. We address the estimator which is the minimum of all the estimators which we obtain by pooling some sums of squares for factorial effects. Under squared error loss, we discuss whether or not this estimator uniformly improves upon the best positive multiple of error sum of squares. We show that when we have two factorial effects, we obtain uniform improvement. However, we show that when we have more than two factorial effects, we cannot necessarily obtain uniform improvement. Further, the above results are applied to the problem of estimating the smallest scale parameter of chi-square distributions.

Existence of the uniformly minimum risk equivariant estimators of parameters in a class of normal linear models

In this paper, we study the existence of the uniformly minimum risk equivariant (UMRE) estimators of parameters in a class of normal linear models, which include the normal variance components model, the growth curve model, the extended growth curve model, and the seemingly unrelated regression equations model, and so on. The necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of UMRE estimators of the estimable linear functions of regression coefficients, the covariance matrixV and (trV)^α, where α > 0 is known, in the models under an affine group of transformations for quadratic losses and matrix losses, respectively. Under the (extended) growth curve model and the seemingly unrelated regression equations model, the conclusions given in literature for estimating regression coefficients can be derived by applying the general results in this paper, and the sufficient conditions for non-existence of UMRE estimators ofV and tr(V) are expanded to be necessary and sufficient conditions. In addition, the necessary and sufficient conditions that there exist UMRE estimators of parameters in the variance components model are obtained for the first time.
