Abstract:SummaryFor normal canonical models, and more generally a vast array of general spherically symmetric locationscale models with a residual vector, we consider estimating the (univariate) location parameter when it is lower bounded. We provide conditions for estimators to dominate the benchmark minimax MRE estimator, and thus be minimax under scale invariant loss. These minimax estimators include the generalized Bayes estimator with respect to the truncation of the common non-informative prior onto the restricte… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
