Résumé
In this talk, we present some inference methods in some multivariate models with
multiple unknown change-points when the target parameter is suspected to satisfy an uncertain constraint. We waive the assumptions on the error terms and establish the joint asymptotic normality of the unrestricted estimator and the restricted estimator. Further, we propose a class of shrinkage estimators that includes as a special case the unrestricted estimator, the estimator restricted as well as James-Stein type estimators. To study the performance of the proposed estimators, we generalize some classical identities underlying the multivariate Gaussian random samples or, more generally, the multivariate elliptically contoured random samples. Finally, we prove that shrinkage estimators dominate the unrestricted estimator.
