Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of estimation of variance in exponen tial density when a prior point estimate (or guess value) theta(0)(2), say, of the variance theta(2) is available. Some shrinkage estimators for the variance theta(2) are suggested and compared with Pandey and Singh's (1977) estimators.
