On Some Classes of Estimators Derived from the Positive Part of James–Stein Estimator

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, 2023
This work consists of developing shrinkage estimation strategies for the multivariate normal mean when the covariance matrix is diagonal and known. The domination of the positive part of James–Stein estimator (PPJSE) over James–Stein estimator (JSE ...

Sequential Shrinkage Estimation

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1987
Let \(X_ 1,X_ 2,\ldots\) \((p\times 1)\) be i.i.d. \(N(\theta,\sigma^2V)\), with \(\theta\), \(\sigma\) unknown and \(V\) a known \(p\times p\) positive definite matrix. If it is decided to stop at stage \(n\) and \(\theta\) is estimated by \(\delta_ n=\delta_ n(X_ 1,\ldots,X_ n)\), then the loss will be \(L(\theta,\delta_ n)'Q(\delta_ n-\theta)+cn ...

Improved Shrinkage Estimators of Covariance Matrices With Toeplitz-Structured Targets in Small Sample Scenarios

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Shrinkage regularization is an effective strategy to estimate the covariance matrix of multi-variate random vector in small sample scenarios. The purpose of this paper is to propose improved linear shrinkage estimators of covariance matrix as two types ...

Small Area Shrinkage Estimation

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2012
The need for small area estimates is increasingly felt in both the public and private sectors in order to formulate their strategic plans. It is now widely recognized that direct small area survey estimates are highly unreliable owing to large standard errors and coefficients of variation.

Bayesian Fusion Estimation via t Shrinkage [PDF]

open access: yesSankhya A, 2019
Shrinkage prior has gained great successes in many data analysis, however, its applications mostly focus on the Bayesian modeling of sparse parameters. In this work, we will apply Bayesian shrinkage to model high dimensional parameter that possesses an unknown blocking structure.

A study of minimax shrinkage estimators dominating the James-Stein estimator under the balanced loss function

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2022
One of the most common challenges in multivariate statistical analysis is estimating the mean parameters. A well-known approach of estimating the mean parameters is the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE).

Estimating the Variance of an Exponential Distribution in the Presence of Large True Observations

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2016
The present paper discusses some classes of shrinkage estimators for the variance of the exponential distribution in the presence of large true observations when some a priori or guessed interval containing the variance parameter is available from some ...

Nonparametric Stein-type Shrinkage Covariance Matrix Estimators in High-Dimensional Settings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Estimating a covariance matrix is an important task in applications where the number of variables is larger than the number of observations. Shrinkage approaches for estimating a high-dimensional covariance matrix are often employed to circumvent the ...
