  Abstract:
The problem of estimating the variance of a multivariate normal distribution is considered under quadratic loss. A large class of generalized Bayes minimax estimators for the variance is found. This class include estimators obtained by Ghosh (1994). A simulation study shows superior performance of our estimators
