Machine learning, shrinkage estimation, and economic theory

SpletGaussian. Specifically, we develop two new estimation techn iques that result from different considerations. The first follows from the Rao-Blackwell theorem, while the second is an application of the ideas of [11] to covariance estimation. We begin by providing a closed form expression for the optimal clairvoyant shrinkage estimator under SpletShrinkage is where extreme values in a sample are “shrunk” towards a central value, like the sample mean. Shrinking data can result in: Better, more stable, estimates for true population parameters, Reduced sampling and non-sampling errors, Smoothed spatial … SpletFurthermore, we consider shrinkage estimation as a solution for the selection bias problem. We thereby extend previous work of Hwang on Lindley's estimator for single‐stage … military truck parts suppliers
