We consider estimation of the mean vector, <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\theta $$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, of a spherically symmetric distribution with known scale parameter under quadratic loss and when a residual vector is available. We show minimaxity of generalized Bayes estimators corresponding to superharmonic priors with a non...</equationsource></inlineequation>
