Abstract: In this paper, several shrunken estimators for the ratio of scale parameters of the exponential two-sample problem using two types of shrinkage functions are proposed. The first shrinkage function is based on the maximum likelihood estimator, and the second is based on the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator. The shrunken estimators expressions are obtained, computed and compared. Moreover, the performances of the shrunken estimators are evaluated. The proposed estimators dominate the classical estimators in the surprisingly large neighbourhood of the prior estimate of the ratio of scale parameters. Ultimately, using the data of a real experiment, the usefulness of these estimators are also illustrated.
