SHRINKAGE ESTIMATION FOR NEARLY SINGULAR DESIGNS

Abstract: Shrinkage estimation procedures such as ridge regression and the lasso have been proposed for stabilizing estimation in linear models when high collinearity exists in the design. In this paper, we consider asymptotic properties of shrinkage estimators in the case of nearly singular designs.I thank Hannes Leeb and Benedikt P tscher and also the referees for their valuable comments.
