On sequential estimation of a normal distribution having equal mean and variance
Mukhopadhyay and Cicconetti \cite{mc2004} derived the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) and the Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator (UMVUE) of $\theta$ in $N (\theta, \theta)$ and discussed their application to purely sequential and two-stage ...

A Bayesian Shrinkage Approach in Weibull Type -II Censored Data Using Prior Point Information
In the present paper we study the performance of the Bayes Shrinkage estimators for the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution under the squared error loss and the LINEX loss functions in the presence of a prior point information of the scale ...

Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimation of Gene Diversity [PDF]
Gene diversity is an important measure of genetic variability in inbred populations. The survival of species in changing environments depends on, among other factors, the genetic variability of the population. In this communication, I have derived the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of gene diversity.

A Robust Solution to Variational Importance Sampling of Minimum Variance
Importance sampling is a Monte Carlo method where samples are obtained from an alternative proposal distribution. This can be used to focus the sampling process in the relevant parts of space, thus reducing the variance. Selecting the proposal that leads

Unbiased Estimates with Minimum Variance
Subject to certain restrictions, a characterization of unbiased estimates with minimum variance is obtained. For two fairly broad classes of problems, solutions are given which are more readily applicable. These are used to obtain such estimates in some particular cases.
