Tóm tắt

The Baysian estimation of the mean vector θ of a p-variate normal distribution under linear exponential (LINEX) loss function is studied when as a special restricted model, it is suspected that for a p × r known matrix Z the hypothesis θ = Zβ, $${\beta\in\Re^r}$$ may hold. In this area we show that the Bayes and empirical Bayes estimators dominate the unrestricted estimator (when nothing is known about the mean vector θ).
