Applications of James–Stein Shrinkage (I): Variance Reduction without Bias
In a linear regression model with homoscedastic Normal noise, I consider James–Stein type shrinkage in the estimation of nuisance parameters associated with control variables. For at least three control variables and exogenous treatment, I show that the standard leastsquares estimator is dominated with respect to squared-error loss in the treatment effect even among unbiased estimators and even...
متن کاملStein Shrinkage with Penalization and Second Order Efficiency in Semiparametrics
Abstract: The problem of estimating the centre of symmetry of an unknown periodic function observed in Gaussian white noise is considered. Using the penalized blockwise Stein method, a smoothing filter allowing to define the penalized profile likelihood is proposed. The estimator of the centre of symmetry is then the maximizer of this penalized profile likelihood. This estimator is shown to be ...
متن کاملJames-Stein shrinkage to improve k-means cluster analysis
We study a general algorithm to improve accuracy in cluster analysis that employs the James-Stein shrinkage effect in k-means clustering. We shrink the centroids of clusters toward the overall mean of all data using a James-Stein-type adjustment, and then the James-Stein shrinkage estimators act as the new centroids in the next clustering iteration until convergence. We compare the shrinkage re...

متن کاملApplications of James–Stein Shrinkage (II): Bias Reduction in Instrumental Variable Estimation
In a two-stage linear regression model with Normal noise, I consider James–Stein type shrinkage in the estimation of the first-stage instrumental variable coefficients. For at least four instrumental variables and a single endogenous regressor, I show that the standard two-stage least-squares estimator is dominated with respect to bias. I construct the dominating estimator by a variant of James...
