The problem is to estimate the mean of the normal distribution under the situation where there is vague information that the mean might be equal to zero. A minimax property of the preliminary test estimator obtained by the use of AIC (Akaike information criterion) procedure is proved under a loss function based on the Kullback-Leibler information measure.
