| Abstract: | For estimating the common mean of a bivariate normal distribution, Krishnamoorthy & Rohatgi (1989) proposed some estimators which dominate the maximum likelihood estimator in a large region of the parameter space. We consider some modifications of these estimators and study their risk performance. |
