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.
Let (X; U ) be a random vector with spherically symmetric distribution about (ร; 0) where dim X =dim ร=p and dim U =dim 0=k (for p ยฟ 3). Consider estimation of ร with loss ร-d 2 . Fourdrinier and Strawderman (J. Multivariate Anal. 59 (1996) 109) considered two classes of James-Stein type estimators
