Observing ~n independent random variables X1, X2 , . . . , X~, as a statistical inference about n future independent random variables Y~, Y , . . , Y~, we have an interest in a region which the variable Y= (Y, Y2, . ' , Y~) would have fallen in if it could be observed where the distributive laws of X~ and Yj have the same parameter 0. Such a region is called a prediction region. Denoting X=(X, X2,..., X,~), we shall search for a set Sr in the range space of Y such that Po{Y~ S~} >__1--~ for all # ~ 0 and in some sense Sx is as small as possible. If n = 1, the prediction regions coincide with E-expectation tolerance regions of Fraser and Guttman [2]. For many future random variables the prediction regions were treated by Ishii and Kudo [4] for the first time where the underlying distribution law was restricted to normal case. A minimax invariant principle played an important role in [4]. The purpose here is to treat the prediction regions from the same point of view for more general cases. The measure of desirability that we adopt here for the region is the reciprocal of the volume (or area) of the region. This measure is analogous to that of confidence regions of the smallest length, and based on the tendency of human being in prediction behavior according to the author's opinion. There are concerned two risks for each prediction region, the average probability content and the average volume of the region. Our aimed region is minimax relative to the average volume within the class of prediction regions with the average probability content not less than a preassigned constant 1--s (level l e ) . In section 2 some results in [4] are described. Section 3 is devoted to the derivation of the minimax invariant prediction region in some non-normal distributions. For n t , some of them coincide with the torelance regions in Guttman [3]. Multivariate linear model is treated in section 4. The method employed there is similar to that of Stein [7] and Wijsman [8]. For n=l, the result for multivariate normal case does not coincide with that of Fraser and Guttman [2] which is caused
