Wavelet Estimators in Nonparametric Regression: A Comparative Simulation Study [PDF]
Wavelet analysis has been found to be a powerful tool for the nonparametric estimation of spatially-variable objects. We discuss in detail wavelet methods in nonparametric regression, where the data are modelled as observations of a signal contaminated ...

Combining Minimax Shrinkage Estimators [PDF]
Abstract When one estimates a multivariate normal mean, the use of Stein estimation entails both the grouping of coordinates and the selection of a set of targets toward which to shrink each group. In this article we propose new minimax multiple shrinkage estimators that allow for multiple specifications of these aspects.

Appoximation-assisted [sic] estimation of eigenvectors under quadratic loss [PDF]
Improved estimation of eigen vector of covariance matrix is considered under uncertain prior information (UPI) regarding the parameter vector. Like statistical models underlying the statistical inferences to be made, the prior information will be ...

Interval shrinkage estimation of two-parameter exponential distribution with random censored data [PDF]
The use of the two-parameter exponential distribution model in fitting survival and reliability analysis data in the presence of censored random data has recently attracted the attention of a large number of authors.

System reliability estimation via shrinkage
In a coherent reliability system composed of multiple components configured according to a specific structure function, the distribution of system time to failure, or system lifetime, is often of primary interest. Accurate estimation of system reliability is critical in a wide range of engineering and industrial applications, forming decisions in ...

Optimal method in multiple regression with structural changes
In this paper, we consider an estimation problem of the regression coefficients in multiple regression models with several unknown change-points. Under some realistic assumptions, we propose a class of estimators which includes as a special cases ...

A Class of Shrinkage Estimators
Summary In this paper we define a class of shrinkage estimators, all of whose members have a mean square error matrix which is less than that of the ordinary least squares estimator by a positive semidefinite matrix if (β-b *)T X T X (β-b *) ≤ σ2.
