In a general variance component model, nonnegative quadratic estimators of the components of variance are considered which are invariant with respect to mean value translaion and have minimum bias (analogously to estimation theory of mean value parameters). Here the minimum is taken over an appropriate cone of positive semidefinite matrices, after having made a reduction by invariance. Among these estimators, which always exist the one of minimum norm is characterized. This characterization is achieved by systems of necessary and sufficient condition, and by a cone restricted pseudoinverse. In models where the decomposing covariance matrices span a commutative quadratic subspace, a representation of the considered estimator is derived that requires merely to solve an ordinary convex quadratic optimization problem. As an example, we present the two way nested classification random model. An unbiased estimator is derived for the mean squared error of any unbiased or biased estimator that is expressible as a linear combination of independent sums of squares. Further, it is shown that, for the classical balanced variance component models, this estimator is the best invariant unbiased estimator, for the variance of the ANOVA estimator and for the mean squared error of the nonnegative minimum biased estimator. As an example, the balanced two way nested classification model with ramdom effects if considered.

본 논문에서는 로그정규분포의 엔트로피에 대한 모수적 추정량으로 최소분산비편향추정량과 최대가능도추정량을 제시하고 성질을 비교한다. 각 추정량의 분산을 유도해서 일치성을 밝히고 최대가능도 추정량의 편향이 추정에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 델타근사방법을 이용해서 얻은 추정량의 분포를 제시하고 적합도 평가를 통한 유도한 분포의 확증을 위해서 모의실험을 수행한다. 평균제곱오차에 의한 상대적 효율성에 대한 조사를 통해 두 추정량의 성능을 비교한다. 모의실험의 결과에서 최소분산비편향추정량은 최대가능도 추정량보다 더 좋은 효율을 보이는 것으로 나타나며, 특히 표본크기와 분산이 동시에 작아짐에 따라 효율이 점점 높아지게 되어 월등히 나은 성능을 발휘함을 볼 수 있다.

We shall introduce a general probability mass function which includes several discrete probability mass functions. Especially, when the random variable X is Poisson, binomial, and negative binomial random variables as some special cases of the introduced distribution, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE) of the probability P(X ${\leq}$ t) are considered. And the efficiencies of the MLE and the UMVUE of the reliability ar compared each other.

The concept of entropy, introduced in communication theory by Shannon (1948) as a measure of uncertainty, is of prime interest in information-theoretic statistics. This paper considers the minimum variance unbiased estimation for the maximum entropy of the transformed inverse Gaussian random variable by $Y=X^{-1/2}$. The properties of the derived UMVU estimator is investigated.

This note deals with the estimations of the variance of a normal distribution $N(\theta,c\theta^2)$ where c, the square of coefficient of variation is assumed to be known. This amounts to the estimation of $\theta^2$. The minimum variance estimator among all unbiased estimators linear in $\bar{x}^2$ and $s^2$ where $\bar{x}$ and $s^2$ are the sample mean and variance, respectively, and the minimum risk estimator in the class of all estimators linear in $\bar{x}^2$ and $s^2$ are obtained. It is shown that the suggested estimators are BAN.

In life testing problem, many authors obtained the minimum variance unbiased estimator of $P_r$[X>Y] for the exponential family generally and conceptually. In this paper, we study the maximum likelihood estimator and minimum variance unbiased estimator of $P_r$[X>Y] in exponential X and normal Y.

이중추출에서 모평균 추정방법을 고찰하였다. 전통적으로 널리 쓰이는 비추정량과 회귀추정량 그리고 비례배분 및 Rao 배분을 한 후의 층화평균에 대하여 주어진 기대 비용에서 최적의 표본수, 최소분산 및 분산추정량을 살펴보았다. 또한 비추정 및 층화의 효과를 모두 내포하는 결합비 추정량을 제안하고 주어진 기대 비용에서 최적의 표본수 및 최소분산을 유도하였고 분산추정량을 구하였다. 그리고 제한된 모의실험을 통하여 비추정량, 층화평균 및 결합비 추정량의 효율을 비교하였다. 모의실험 결과 비추정량과 층화평균은 경우에 따라 효율이 다르게 나타난 반면, 결합비 추정량은 대체로 두 방법보다 효율이 우수하게 나타나 결합비 추정량이 이중추출에 유용하게 쓰일 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper the Rao-Blackwell and Lehmann-$Scheff{\acute{e}}$ Theorem are used to drive the minimum variance unbiased estimators of system reliability for a number of distributions when a system consists of n Components whose random life times are assumed to be independent and identically distributed. For the case of a negative exponential life time, we obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of the system reliability and compair it with minimum variance unbiased estimator of the system reliability.
