Abstract

This paper investigates the Bayes estimator of the mean of an elliptically contoured distribution with unknown scale parameter under the quadratic loss. The Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform of density facilitate us to obtain the expression of Bayes estimator. Then we prove the minimaxity of the Bayes estimator under certain conditions.
