โฆ Synopsis
A confidence interval for the generalized variance of a matrix normal distribution with unknown mean is constructed which improves on the usual minimum size (i.e., minimum length or minimum ratio of endpoints) interval based on the sample generalized variance alone in terms of both coverage probability and size. The method is similar to the univariate case treated by Goutis and Casella (Ann. Statist. 19

Based on independent random matices X: p x m and S: p x p distributed, respectively, as Npm(#, E ยฎ I,~) and Wp(n, ~) with # unknown and n > p, the problem of obtaining confidence interval for IEI is considered. Stein's idea of improving the best affine equivariant point estimator of IE[ has been ada
The usual conรฟdence intervals for the ratio of two normal variances are constructed from F-distribution. These conรฟdence intervals are especially important in the variance component model. In this paper, I focus on conรฟdence estimate and conditional performance of these conรฟdence intervals. Under so
The generalized regression (greg) predictor for the finite population total of a real variable is often employed when values of an auxiliary variable are available. Several variance estimators for it do well in large samples though bearing no optimality properties. We find a variance estimator which
We consider the problem of decision-theoretic estimation of the ratio of generalized variances of two matrix normal distributions with unknown means under a general loss function. The inadmissibility of the best affine equivariant estimator is established by exhibiting various improved estimators. I
