  2. Shrinkage (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinkage_(statistics)

    In statistics, shrinkage is the reduction in the effects of sampling variation. In regression analysis , a fitted relationship appears to perform less well on a new data set than on the data set used for fitting. [ 1 ]

  3. Estimation of covariance matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_of_covariance...

    This can be done by cross-validation, or by using an analytic estimate of the shrinkage intensity. The resulting regularized estimator (+ ()) can be shown to outperform the maximum likelihood estimator for small samples. For large samples, the shrinkage intensity will reduce to zero, hence in this case the shrinkage estimator will be identical ...

  4. Least-angle regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least-angle_regression

    Standardized coefficients shown as a function of proportion of shrinkage. In statistics, least-angle regression (LARS) is an algorithm for fitting linear regression models to high-dimensional data, developed by Bradley Efron, Trevor Hastie, Iain Johnstone and Robert Tibshirani.

  5. Lasso (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasso_(statistics)

    In statistics and machine learning, lasso (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator; also Lasso, LASSO or L1 regularization) [1] is a regression analysis method that performs both variable selection and regularization in order to enhance the prediction accuracy and interpretability of the resulting statistical model.

  6. Empirical Bayes method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_Bayes_method

    Empirical Bayes methods can be seen as an approximation to a fully Bayesian treatment of a hierarchical Bayes model.. In, for example, a two-stage hierarchical Bayes model, observed data = {,, …,} are assumed to be generated from an unobserved set of parameters = {,, …,} according to a probability distribution ().

  7. James–Stein estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James–Stein_estimator

    The James–Stein estimator may seem at first sight to be a result of some peculiarity of the problem setting. In fact, the estimator exemplifies a very wide-ranging effect; namely, the fact that the "ordinary" or least squares estimator is often inadmissible for simultaneous estimation of several parameters.

    Inventory shrink, including retail theft, is still weighing on Target . In 2023, Target faced multiple headwinds, as tightening financial conditions dragged down its top and bottom lines.

  9. Partial least squares regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_least_squares...

    Partial least squares (PLS) regression is a statistical method that bears some relation to principal components regression and is a reduced rank regression [1]; instead of finding hyperplanes of maximum variance between the response and independent variables, it finds a linear regression model by projecting the predicted variables and the observable variables to a new space of maximum ...
