Estimation of noncentrality parameters |
|
| Authors: | T Kubokawa CP Robert AKMdE Saleh |
| Abstract: | We propose some estimators of noncentrality parameters which improve upon usual unbiased estimators under quadratic loss. The distributions we consider are the noncentral chi-square and the noncentral F. However, we give more general results for the family of elliptically contoured distributions and propose a robust dominating estimator. |
