✦ Synopsis

For estimating the common mean of k (~>2) normal populations with order restricted unknown variances, using the theory of isotonic regression, we propose a simple estimator which is better than the usual Graybill-Deal estimator in terms of stochastic dominance and the Pitman measure of closeness.

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

Consider the problem of estimating the common mean of several normal populations with unknown and possibly unequal variances under the squared error loss function. The well-known unbiased estimator of the common mean is the Graybill-Deal estimator. The general admissibility (or otherwise) of this es
