Abstract

This paper deals with the estimation problems of a common mean of several independent normal populations with unknown variances, based on random samples of equal size. The authors suggest a promising approach and a new estimator to improve Graybill-Deal estimator further. By Monte Carlo simulation study, the efficiency of new estimator is compared with that of Graybill-Deal estimator.
