Methods for Measuring Shrinkage [PDF]
Security Journal, 2006 This paper presents findings from research amongst European grocery retailers into their methods for measuring shrinkage. The findings indicate that: there is no dominant method for valuing or stating shrinkage; shrinkage in the supply chain is frequently overlooked; data is essential in pinpointing where and when loss occurs and that many retailers ...

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

A penalised data-driven block shrinkage approach to empirical Bayes wavelet estimation [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper we propose a simple Bayesian block wavelet shrinkage method for estimating an unknown function in the presence of Gaussian noise. A data–driven procedure which can adaptively choose the block size and the shrinkage level at each resolution ...
