Abstract

This paper proposes some alternative classes of shrinkage estimators and analyzes their properties. In particular, some new shrinkage estimators are identified and compared with Pandey (1983), Pandey and Srivastav (1985) and Jani (1991) estimators. Numerical illustrations are also provided.
