✦ Synopsis

In the normal case it is well known that, although the James-Stein rule is minimax. it is not admissible and the associated positive rule is one way to improve on it. We extend this result to the class of the spherically symmetric distributions and to a large class of shrinkage rules. Moreover we propose a family of generalized positive rules. We compare our results to those of Berger and Bock (Statistical Decision Theory and Related Topics, II, Academic Press, New York, 1976). In particular our conditions on the shrinkage estimator are weaker. "1 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

The theory of Bayesian least squares is developed for a general and more tangible notion of conjugacy than in models which make the more conventional assumption of normality. This paper is primarily concerned with extending the results of classical conjugate normal-normal Bayesian analysis to the ca

This paper is primarily concerned with extending the results of Brandwein and Strawderman in the usual canonical setting of a general linear model when sampling from a spherically symmetric distribution. When the location parameter belongs to a proper linear subspace of the sampling space, we give a
