A note on MLE of covariance matrix
Ming-Tien Tsai · 2017-04-09 · via math.ST updates on arXiv.org

For a multivariate normal set up, it is well known that the maximum likelihood estimator of covariance matrix is neither admissible nor minimax under the Stein loss function. For the past six decades, a bunch of researches have followed along this line for Stein's phenomenon in the literature. In this note, the results are two folds: Firstly, with respect to Stein type loss function we use the full Iwasawa decomposition to enhance the unpleasant phenomenon that the minimum risks of maximum likelihood estimators for the different coordinate systems (Cholesky decomposition and full Iwasawa decomposition) are different. Secondly, we introduce a new class of loss functions to show that the minimum risks of maximum likelihood estimators for the different coordinate systems, the Cholesky decomposition and the full Iwasawa decomposition, are of the same, and hence the Stein's paradox disappears.
