description

The problem of combining linear and ellipsoidal restrictions in linear regression is investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for compactness of the restriction set are proved assuring the existence of a minimax estimator. When the restriction set is not compact a minimax estimator may still exist for special loss functions arid regression designs
