COMPARISON OF THE ITERATIVE STEIN-RULE AND THE USUAL ESTIMATORS OF THE ERROR VARIANCE UNDER THE PITMAN NEARNESS CRITERION

Abstract

The iterative Stein-rule estimator and the usual estimator of the error variance are compared under the Pitman Nearness Criterion. An exact
expression of Pitman’s Nearness probability is derived and numerically evaluated.
