Title: Some Admissible Minimax Formal Bayes Estimators of a Multivariate Normal Mean
Author(s): Brian Shea*+
Companies: The University of Minnesota
Address: , , ,
Keywords: Admissibility ; Minimaxity ; Markov Chain
Abstract:

Admissibility and minimaxity conditions for a family of improper priors for a multivariate (p>2) normal mean parameter are given. Connections to similar priors are explored, as well as a connection between admissibility and Markov chain recurrence.
