Bootstrapping the Stein Variance Estimator
This paper applies the bootstrap methods proposed by Efron (1979) to the Stein variance estimator proposed by Stein (1964). It is shown by Monte Carlo experiments that the parametric bootstrap yields the considerable accurate estimates of mean, standard error and confidence limits of the Stein variance estimator.
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes and the James–Stein Estimator
Charles Stein shocked the statistical world in 1955 with his proof that maximum likelihood estimation methods for Gaussian models, in common use for more than a century, were inadmissible beyond simple oneor twodimensional situations. These methods are still in use, for good reasons, but Stein-type estimators have pointed the way toward a radically different empirical Bayes approach to high-dim...
متن کاملEntropy Inference and the James-Stein Estimator
Entropy is a fundamental quantity in statistics and machine learning. In this note, we present a novel procedure for statistical learning of entropy from high-dimensional small-sample data. Specifically, we introduce a a simple yet very powerful small-sample estimator of the Shannon entropy based on James-Stein-type shrinkage. This results in an estimator that is highly efficient statistically ...
متن کاملFalse Discovery Rates and the James-Stein Estimator
The new century has brought us a new class of statistics problems, much bigger than their classical counterparts, and often involving thousands of parameters and millions of data points. Happily, it has also brought some powerful new statistical methodologies. The most prominent of these is Benjamini and Hochberg’s False Discovery Rate (FDR) procedure, extensively explored in this issue of Stat...
متن کاملJames-Stein type estimator by shrinkage to closed convex set with smooth boundary
We give James-Stein type estimators of multivariate normal mean vector by shrinkage to closed convex set K with smooth or piecewise smooth boundary. The rate of shrinkage is determined by the curvature of boundary of K at the projection point onto K . By considering a sequence of polytopes K j converging to K , we show that a particular estimator we propose is the limit of a sequence of estimat...
