Abstract

In the problem of estimating a vector of unknown regression coefficients under the sum of squared error losses in a hierarchical linear model, we propose the hierarchical Bayes estimator of a vector of unknown regression coefficients in a hierarchical linear model, and then prove the admissibility of this estimator using Blyth's (196\51) method.
