โœฆ Synopsis

To analyze the isotonic regression problem for normal means, it is usual to assume that all variances are known or unknown but equal. This paper then studies this problem in the case that there are no conditions imposed on the variances. Suppose that we have data drawn from k independent normal populations with unknown means + i 's and unknown variances _ 2 i 's, in which the means are restricted by a given partial ordering. This paper discusses some properties of the maximum likelihood estimates of + i 's and _ 2 i 's under the restriction and proposes an algorithm for obtaining the estimates.

For \(k\) normal populations with unknown means \(\mu_{i}\) and unknown variances \(\sigma_{t}^{2}\), \(i=1, \ldots, k\), assume that there are some order restrictions among the means and variances, respectively, for example, simple order restrictions: \(\mu_{1} \leqslant \mu_{2} \leqslant \cdots \l

Based on independent samples from several multivariate normal populations, possibly of different dimensions, the problem of simultaneous estimation of the mean vectors is considered assuming that the covariance matrices are unknown. Two loss functions, the sum of usual quadratic losses and the sum o
