Prediction of Brain Connectivity Map in Resting-State fMRI Data Using Shrinkage Estimator [PDF]
Introduction: In recent years, brain functional connectivity studies are extended using the advanced statistical methods. Functional connectivity is identified by synchronous activation in a spatially distinct region of the brain in resting-state ...

On shrinkage estimators improving the positive part of James-Stein estimator
In this work, we study the estimation of the multivariate normal mean by different classes of shrinkage estimators. The risk associated with the quadratic loss function is used to compare two estimators. We start by considering a class of estimators that

On Restricted Shrinkage Jackknife Biased Estimator for Restricted Linear Regression Model [PDF]
In restricted linear regression model, more methods proposed to address the Multicollinearity problem and the high variance. For example, shrinkage biased estimation and optimization (Lagrange function).

Estimation of a Parallel Stress-strength Model Based on the Inverse Kumaraswamy Distribution
The reliability of the stress-strength model attracted many statisticians for several years owing to its applicability in different and diverse parts such as engineering, quality control, and economics. In this paper, the system reliability estimation in

SHRINKAGE ESTIMATOR FOR A SINGLE OBSERVATION IN N(Θ,V) PROBLEM WITH UNKNOWN VARIANCE [PDF]
this search, Shrinkage Estimator has been studied for a Single Observation in N(θ,V) problem when variance is unknown. We proved that there is a relationship between Shrinkage Estimator and Normal Bayes Estimator.

Nonparametric estimation of median survival times with applications to multi-site or multi-center studies. [PDF]
We propose a nonparametric shrinkage estimator for the median survival times from several independent samples of right-censored data, which combines the samples and hypothesis information to improve the efficiency.

Shrinkage Estimators for Covariance Matrices [PDF]
Estimation of covariance matrices in small samples has been studied by many authors. Standard estimators, like the unstructured maximum likelihood estimator (ML) or restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimator, can be very unstable with the smallest estimated eigenvalues being too small and the largest too big.

Shrinkage Estimation of Linear Regression Models with GARCH Errors [PDF]
This paper introduces shrinkage estimators for the parameter vector of a linear regression model with con- ditionally heteroscedastic errors such as the class of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) errors when some of the ...
