A pair of estimating equations for a mean vector

Abstract

Consider a class of estimators of a mean vector, indexed by a parameter. We introduce a pair of estimating equations for the parameter and the variance in the normal distribution. The equations provide us with an interpretation of the empirical Bayes method for smoothing and the James-Stein estimator. They can also be applied to various methods such as the S function lowess, the ridge estimator and the method of moving average. An extension to the non-Gaussian case is also discussed.
