Abstract

This article reviews the state of multiparameter shrinkage estimators with emphasis on the empirical Bayes viewpoint, particularly in the case of parametric prior distributions. Some successful applications of major importance are considered. Recent results concerning estimates of error and confidence intervals are described and illustrated with data.

“Starting from the work of Cox (1975) and Morris (1983), researchers proposed numerous methods based on analytical derivations (e.g. Basu et al., 2003; Kubokawa, 2010; Yoshimori & Lahiri, 2014) and resampling (e.g. Hall & Maiti, 2006; Chatterjee et al., 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
