Abstract

Empirical Bayes (EB) estimation of the parameter vector θ{symbol}=(β′,σ2)′ in a multiple linear regression model Y=Xβ+ε is considered, where β is the vector of regression coefficient, ε ∼N(0,σ2I) and σ2 is unknown. In this paper, we have constructed the EB estimators of θ{symbol} by using the kernel estimation of multivariate density function and its partial derivatives. Under suitable conditions it is shown that the convergence rates of the EB estimators are O(n-(λk-1)(k-2)/k(2 k+p+1)), where the natural number k≥3, 1/3<λ<1, and p is the dimension of vector β.
