The problem of simultaneously estimating location parameters is addressed, where the vector of location parameters belongs to a polyhedral cone including simple order, tree order and positive orthant restrictions and so forth. This paper proposes modified estimators based on orthogonal...

This paper is concerned with estimation of a predictive density with parametric constraints under Kullback–Leibler loss. When an invariance structure is embedded in the problem, general and unified conditions for the minimaxity of the best equivariant predictive density estimator are derived....

We consider minimax shrinkage estimation of location for spherically symmetric distributions under a concave function of the usual squared error loss. Scale mixtures of normal distributions and losses with completely monotone derivatives are featured.
