In this paper, we are interested in estimating a multivariate normal mean under the balanced loss function using the shrinkage estimators deduced from the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE). First, we consider a class of estimators containing the James-Stein estimator, we then show that any estimator of this class dominates the MLE, consequently it is minimax. Secondly, we deal with shrinkage estimators which are not only minimax but also dominate the James- Stein estimator.
