James-Stein estimators for the mean vector of a multivariate normal population based on independent samples from two normal populations with common covariance structure
... is always smaller than p, regardless of the value of p (> 2) and ∆. Thus the MLE is not admissible in the estimation of the mean vector of the two-sample multivariate normal problem, a result well known ...
