✦ Synopsis

In estimation of a matrix of regression coefficients in a multivariate linear regression model, this paper shows that minimax and shrinkage estimators under a normal distribution remain robust under an elliptically contoured distribution. The robustness of the improvement is established for both invariant and noninvariant loss functions in the above model as well as in the growth curve model.

The literature oers many formulas for estimating the mean and standard deviation of a subjective probability distribution (a well-known example is the PERT formulas). This paper shows that some basic underlying assumptions behind most of these formulas are inappropriate; a more appropriate framework
