Abstract

In this paper, we consider a linear regression model with multivariate t error terms and derive the explicit formula of the mean squared error (MSE) of the two-stage hierarchial information (2SHI) estimator. It is shown by numerical evaluations that the 2SHI estimator has smaller MSE than the positive-part Stein-rule (PSR) estimator over a wide region of the parameter space.
