Abstract
Using the Stein (1964) variance estimator, this paper defines a modified Stein inequality constrained estimator and derives its exact risk under quadratic loss. Numerical evaluations show that over a wide range of the parameter space, the modified Stein inequality constrained estimator has lower risk than the traditional Stein inequality constrained estimator introduced by Judge et al. (1984). © Australian Statistical Publishing Association Inc. 1998. Published by Blackwell Publishers Ltd.
