Abstract

We consider the linear regression model with an interval restriction imposed on the coefficients, and examine the sampling performance of a family of Stein interval restricted and pre-test estimators for the coefficient vector.The risk, under squared error loss, of these Stein-like estimators are derived, and the inadmissibility of the maximum likelihood interval restricted and pre-test estimators is demonstrated. © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
