โฆ Synopsis
Let X1,..., XN be independent observations from Np(#, ~1) and Y1,..., YN be independent observations from Np(#, ~2). Assume that Xi's and Y~'s are independent. An unbiased estimator of/z which dominates the sample mean X for p _> 1 under the loss function L(/z,/2) --(f~ -#)'~i-l(fL -/~) is suggested. The exact risk (under L) of the new estimator is also evaluated.

The problem of estimating a mean vector of scale mixtures of multivariate normal distributions with the quadratic loss function is considered. For a certain class of these distributions, which includes at least multivariate-t distributions, admissible minimax estimators are given.
Sequential procedures are proposed to estimate the unknown mean vector of a multivariate linear process of the form \(\mathbf{X}_{t}-\boldsymbol{\mu}=\sum_{j=0}^{x} A_{j} \mathbf{Z}_{i-j}\), where the \(\mathbf{Z}_{i}\) are i.i.d. \((0, \Sigma)\) with unknown covariance matrix \(\Sigma\). The propos
