  • Abstract
    The problem of estimating a covariance matrix is considered in this paper. Using the so-called partial Iwasawa coordinates of the covariance matrix, a new improved estimator dominating the James–Stein estimator is proposed. The results of a simulation study verifies that the new estimator provides a substantial improvement in risk under Steinʹs loss.
