The authors develop empirical likelihood (EL) based methods of inference for a common mean using data from several independent but nonhomogeneous populations. For point estimation, they propose a maximum empirical likelihood (MEL) estimator and show that it is &-consistent and asymptotically optimal
We show that a non-identifiability problem can occur when one attempts to estimate the degrees of freedom and the unstructured covariance matrix simultaneously in a Gaussian-inverted Wishart model, using the maximum likelihood approach. However, the EM algorithm may falsely converge to give finite e
In estimating a bounded normal mean, it is known that the maximum likelihood estimator is inadmissible for squared error loss function. In this paper, we discuss the admissibility for other loss functions. We prove that the maximum likelihood estimator is admissible under absolute error loss.
