On Some Shrinkage Estimators of Multivariate Location
多元位置参数的若干收缩估计量
For a continuous and diagonally symmetric multivariate distribution, incorporating the idea of preliminary test estimators, a variant form of the James-Stein type estimation rule is used to formulate some shrinkage estimators of location based on rank statistics and $U$-statistics. In an asymptotic setup, the relative risks for these shrinkage estimators are shown to be smaller than their classical counterparts.
