On Mathematical Characteristics of some Improved Estimators of the Mean and Variance Components in Elliptically Contoured Models
In this paper we treat a general form of location model. It is typically assumed that the error term is distributed according to the law belonging to the class of elliptically contoured distribution. Some sorts of shrinkage estimators of location and scale parameters are proposed and their exact bias and MSE expressions are derived. The performance of the estimators under study are compl...
متن کاملInferences on the Generalized Variance under Normality
Generalized variance is applied for determination of dispersion in a multivariate population and is a successful measure for concentration of multivariate data. In this article, we consider constructing confidence interval and testing the hypotheses about generalized variance in a multivariate normal distribution and give a computational approach. Simulation studies are performed to compare thi...
متن کاملAn improved class of estimators for the population variance
In this paper by utilizing the information on the population mean of auxiliary variable, we proposed a new improved class of estimators for the population variance of the study variable. The large sample properties of proposed estimator have been studied up to the first order of approximation that is the mathematical expressions for the bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed class of ...
متن کاملGeneralized variance estimators in the multivariate gamma models
It has been shown that the uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimator of the generalized variance always exists for any natural exponential family. In practice, however, this estimator is often di¢ cult to obtain. This paper explicitly identi es the results in complete bivariate and symmetric multivariate gamma models, which are diagonal quadratic exponential families. For the non-ind...
متن کاملImproved ratio-type estimators of finite population variance using quartiles
In this paper we have proposed some ratio-type estimators of finite population variance using known values of parameters related to an auxiliary variable such as quartiles with their properties in simple random sampling. The suggested estimators have been compared with the usual unbiased and ratio estimators and the estimators due to [2], [12, 13, 14] and [3]. An empirical study is also carried...
