On the problem of the means of weighted normal populations.

Mikhail S. Nikulin, Vassiliy G. Voinov (1995)

Qüestiió

An analytical problem, which arises in the statistical problem of comparing the means of two normal distributions, the variances of which -as well as their ratio- are unknown, is well known in the mathematical statistics as the Behrens-Fisher problem. One generalization of the Behrens-Fisher problem and different aspect concerning the estimation of the common mean of several independent normal distributions with different variances are considered and one solution is proposed.

On the Rao-Blackwell Theorem for fuzzy random variables

María Asunción Lubiano, María Angeles Gil, Miguel López-Díaz (1999)

Kybernetika

In a previous paper, conditions have been given to compute iterated expectations of fuzzy random variables, irrespectively of the order of integration. In another previous paper, a generalized real-valued measure to quantify the absolute variation of a fuzzy random variable with respect to its expected value have been introduced and analyzed. In the present paper we combine the conditions and generalized measure above to state an extension of the basic Rao–Blackwell Theorem. An application of this...

On unbiased Lehmann-estimators of a variance of an exponential distribution with quadratic loss function.

Jadwiga Kicinska-Slaby (1982)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Lehmann in [4] has generalised the notion of the unbiased estimator with respect to the assumed loss function. In [5] Singh considered admissible estimators of function λ-r of unknown parameter λ of gamma distribution with density f(x|λ, b) = λb-1 e-λx xb-1 / Γ(b), x>0, where b is a known parameter, for loss function L(λ-r, λ-r) = (λ-r - λ-r)2 / λ-2r.Goodman in [1] choosing three loss functions of different shape found unbiased Lehmann-estimators, of the variance σ2 of the normal distribution....

On variance of the two-stage estimator in variance-covariance components model

Júlia Volaufová (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with a linear model with linear variance-covariance structure, where the linear function of the parameter of expectation is to be estimated. The two-stage estimator is based on the observation of the vector Y and on the invariant quadratic estimator of the variance-covariance components. Under the assumption of symmetry of the distribution and existence of finite moments up to the tenth order, an approach to determining the upper bound for the difference in variances of the estimators...
