Publisher's Synopsis
This book deals with shrinkage regression estimators obtained by shrinking the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator towards the origin. The author's main concern is to compare the sampling properties of a family of Stein-rule estimators with those of a family of minimum mean squared error estimators. In this book, the author deals with shrinkage regression estimators obtained by shrinking the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator towards the origin. In particular, he deals with a family of Stein-rule (SR) estimators and a family of minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimators.
