106 This conclusion (smaller mse ⇒ Pitman closer) need not hold without these assumptions. The conclusion smaller mse ⇔ smaller variance need not hold either. Suppose 1 are i.i.d. (0). Consider estimates = () of . With = ( +1) we have unbiasedness. We compare (+1) to 1 with ³ respect to both mse and Pitman closeness. From () ≤ ´ =() we calculate that h i = + () then obtain the bias, variance and mse: µ ( ) = +1 − 1 Ã µ ! ( ) = 2 2 +2 − 2 +1 ∙ ( ) = 2 +2 − 2 +1¸ 2 +1 Note mse is minimized by =( +2)( +1). Both this and =( +1) satisfy ( − 1) → 1; we shall handle both cases by comparing 1 with ∗,where ( ∗ − 1) → 1. For arbitrary , werewritethemse as h ( ( − 1)) 2 +1 ( )= − 2 ( − 1) + 2i 2 ( +1)( +2)
107 The ARE of the estimates considered, based on mse, is ( ∗ 1 ) = lim ( 1) ( ∗) = lim 2 h +1 − =2 2+2i Thus any such ∗ has 12 themse, asymptotically, even though ( ∗) ( 1 )if ∗ 1. (Both bias 2 and variance of 1 are ( −2 ) and so reducing the bias effects a significant reduction in mse, even asymptotically.) • To ³ compare ³ w.r.t. Pitman closeness, recall that − ()´ ≤ ´ → 1 − − =1− − , with = . Then the Pitman closeness is = µ | − | ≤ = µ − ≤ () − ≤ = ⎛ ⎝ −+(−1) ≤ ³ − ()´ ≤ +(−1) ⎞ ⎠
