Interval Shrinkage Estimators

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
This paper considers estimation of an unknown distribution parameter in situations where we believe that the parameter belongs to a finite interval. We propose for such situations an interval shrinkage approach which combines in a coherent way an unbiased conventional estimator and non-sample information about the range of plausible parameter values ...

Prediction with shrinkage estimators

Series Statistics, 1978
It is demonstrated that the prediction mean square error for a general prediction design matrix may be reduced by using one of a general class of shrinkage estimators instead of the least squares estimator.Further, a general characterization is given of those situations in which the potential reduction in prediction mean square error is large.

Multi-Index Shrinkage Estimation

The Journal of Wealth Management, 2005
The authors present an improved method for estimating the asset class covariance matrix for input into a mean variance optimizer. Starting with the Ledoit and Wolf [2003] stock level Bayesian shrinkage estimator, they derive a multi-index shrinkage estimator for capturing the actual asset class return structure and for estimating the covariance matrix.
