In this article, shrinkage testimators for the shape parameter of a Pareto distribution are considered, when its prior guess value is available. The choices of shrinkage factor are also suggested. The proposed testimators are compared with the minimum risk estimator among the class of unbiased estimators with the LINEX loss function. |
