Finite-sample properties of the Graybill-Deal estimator. (English) Zbl 1219.62043
Summary: This paper studies some finite-sample properties of the F. A. Graybill and R. B. Deal estimator [Biometrics 15, 543–550 (1959; Zbl 0096.34503)] under both the squared error as well as the asymmetric LINEX loss functions. In the process, a simpler proof of existing results has been obtained.
