- Hoerl and Kennard (1970) came up with the simple solution: make $X^intercal X$ invertible by adding a constant $lambda$ to diagonal elements. That is, replace $X^intercal X$ by $X^intercal X + lambda I$ to get the estimator [hat{boldsymbolbeta} = (X^intercal X + lambda I)^{-1}X^intercal Y.]

What is a Shrinkage Estimator? A shrinkage estimator is a new estimate produced by shrinking a raw estimate (like the sample mean ). For example, two extreme mean values can be combined to make one more centralized mean value; repeating this for all means in a sample will result in a revised sample mean that has “shrunk” towards the true ...
Peter Ho Shrinkage estimators October 31, 2013 A linear estimator (x) for ( ) is an estimator of the form ab(X) = aX+ b: Is ab admissible? Theorem 1 (LC thm 5.2.6). ab(X) = aX+ bis inadmissible for E[Xj ] under squared error loss whenever 1. a>1, 2. a= 1 and b6= 0 , or 3. a<0. Proof. The risk of ab is R( ; ab) = E[(aX+ b )2j ] = E[(aX a (1 a ...
Dec 20, 2018 · The idea of a shrinkage estimator is simple. However, think about how to choose the optimal value of delta? The solution to this problem was found by Ledoit and Wolf in this excellent paper....

We show how a particular shrinkage estimator, the ridge regression estimator, can reduce variance and estimation error in cases where the predictors are highly collinear. We show how this estimator and other biased estimators can be viewed as solutions to penalized least-squares problems.
Instead of \(\hat{\beta}\), we will use a shrinkage estimator for \(\beta\), \(\tilde{\beta}\), which is \(\hat{\beta}\) shrunk by a factor of a (where a is a constant greater than one). Then: Squared loss: \( E(\hat{\beta}-1)^2 = Var(\hat{\beta})\).
Jan 11, 2019 · The sample mean, ˉx = 1 N ∑ xi, is a workhorse of modern statistics. For example, t tests compare two sample means to judge if groups are likely different at the population level, and ANOVAs compare sample means of more groups to achieve something similar.
Construct an estimator function ^(y) for , a function of the observed sample y. Compare and ^(y) for the various possible samples that might be drawn, under the assumption that = r. Usually we'll compare the mean, variance, and mean squared error of the estimator:1 E ^(y); E(^(y) E ^(y))2, and E(^(y) r)2.
