Improving the James-Stein estimator using the Stein variance estimator

Author

Listed:
  • Berry, J. Calvin

Abstract

The Stein variance estimator is used to improve the James-Stein estimator of a multivariate normal mean vector. It is also demonstrated that this domination does not hold for the positive part versions of these estimators.
