The problem of estimating the common mean ~ of k independent and univariate inverse Gaussian populations IG(#, Ai), i = 1,..., k with unknown and unequal A's is considered. The difficulty with the maximum likelihood estimator of ]~ is pointed out, and a natural estimator/5 of/~ along the lines of Gr
In this paper we solve the inverse mean problem of contraharmonic and geometric means of positive definite matrices (proposed in [W.
The most commonly used estimator for a log-normal mean is the sample mean. In this paper, we show that this estimator can have a large mean square error, even for large samples. Then, we study three main alternative estimators: (i) a uniformly minimum variance unbiased (UMVU) estimator; (ii) a maxim
