OVERFIT: Stata module to calculate shrinkage statistics to measure overfitting as well as out- and in-sample predictive bias

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: overfit calculates three shrinkage statistics to measure the amount of overfitting generated by an estimated model as well as its out- and in-sample predictive bias as defined in Bilger and Manning (2015). Note that in the case of nonlinear models, all these shrinkage statistics are calculated on the (untransformed) scale of interest, which is also referred to as the "raw scale" of the outcome.
