In the GMANOVA model or equivalent growth curve model, shrinkage effects on the MLE (maximum likelihood estimator) are considered under an invariant risk matrix. We first study the fundamental structure of the problem through which we decompose the estimation problem into some conditional problems a

The double bootstrap provides a useful tool for bootstrapping approximately pivotal quantities by using an "inner" bootstrap loop to estimate the variance. When the estimators are computationally intensive, the double bootstrap may become infeasible. We propose the use of a new variance estimator fo
Extreme value theory has led to the development of various statistical methods for nonparametric estimation of distribution tails. A common problem in all of these estimators is the choice of the number of extreme data that should be used in the estimation and the construction of conΓΏdence intervals
In the normal case it is well known that, although the James-Stein rule is minimax. it is not admissible and the associated positive rule is one way to improve on it. We extend this result to the class of the spherically symmetric distributions and to a large class of shrinkage rules. Moreover we pr
