7.1 For the situation of Example 7.1:

(a) The empirical Bayes estimator of θ , using an unbiased estimate of τ 2/(σ2 + τ 2), is

δEB =



1 − (p − 2)σ2

|x|

2



x, the James-Stein estimator.

(b) The empirical Bayes estimator of θ , using the marginal MLE of τ 2/(σ2 + τ 2), is

δEB =



1 − pσ2

|x|

2

+

x, which resembles the positive-part Stein estimator.
