On Reverse Shrinkage Effects and Shrinkage Overshoot
Psychometrika, 2023 Given a squared Euclidean norm penalty, we examine some less well-known properties of shrinkage estimates. In particular, we highlight that it is possible for some components of the shrinkage estimator to be placed further away from the prior mean than the original estimate.

Scoping the contextual issues that influence shrinkage measurement. [PDF]
, 2006 Measures and measurement systems must reflect the context to which they are applied (Neely, 1999), requiring that the contextual issues relating to retail shrinkage must be identified as a necessary precursor when measuring shrinkage. Without considering
