Abstract
Two previous results of the author, regarding the admissibility of the sample mean as estimator of the population mean in the class of all estimators for arbitrary sampling designs with the squared error as loss function, and for a wide class of loss functions, are shown to remain valid in the more general case when the population means of many variates are simultaneously under estimation.
