Minimax estimation of a multivariate normal mean under arbitrary quadratic loss

Let X be a p-variate (p >= 3) vector normally distributed with mean [theta] and known covariance matrix . It is desired to estimate [theta] under the quadratic loss ([delta] - [theta])t Q([delta] - [theta]), where Q is a known positive definite matrix. A broad class of minimax estimators for [theta] is developed.
