General Maximum Likelihood Empirical Bayes Estimation of Normal Means
We propose a general maximum likelihood empirical Bayes (GMLEB) method for the estimation of a mean vector based on observations with iid normal errors. We prove that under mild moment conditions on the means, the average mean squared error (MSE) of the GMLEB is within an infinitesimal fraction of the minimum average MSE among all separable estimators which use a single deterministic estimating...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes and Compound Estimation of Normal Means
This article concerns the canonical empirical Bayes problem of estimating normal means under squared-error loss. General empirical estimators are derived which are asymptotically minimax and optimal. Uniform convergence and the speed of convergence are considered. The general empirical Bayes estimators are compared with the shrinkage estimators of Stein (1956) and James and Stein (1961). Estima...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation of Reliability
Assessment of the reliability of various types of equipment relies on statistical inference about characteristics of reliability such as reliability function, mean lifetime of the devices, or failure rate. General techniques of statistical inference (estimation and hypotheses testing) are reviewed in Estimation; Least-Squares Estimation; Maximum Likelihood; Nonparametric Tests; Hypothesis Testi...
متن کاملNonparametric Empirical Bayes and Compound Decision Approaches to Estimation of a High-dimensional Vector of Normal Means
We consider the classical problem of estimating a vector μ = (μ1, . . . , μn) based on independent observations Yi ∼ N(μi,1), i = 1, . . . , n. Suppose μi, i= 1, . . . , n are independent realizations from a completely unknown G. We suggest an easily computed estimator μ̂, such that the ratio of its risk E(μ̂−μ) with that of the Bayes procedure approaches 1. A related compound decision result is ...
