This book provides a coherent framework for understanding shrinkage estimation in statistics. The term refers to modifying a classical estimator by moving it closer to a target which could be known a priori or arise from a model. The goal is to construct estimators with improved statistical properties. The book focuses primarily on point and loss estimation of the mean vector of multivariate normal and spherically symmetric distributions. Chapter 1 reviews the statistical and decision theoretic terminology and results that will be used throughout the book. Chapter 2 is concerned with estimating the mean vector of a multivariate normal distribution under quadratic loss from a frequentist perspective. In Chapter 3 the authors take a Bayesian view of shrinkage estimation in the normal setting. Chapter 4 introduces the general classes of spherically and elliptically symmetric distributions. Point and loss estimation for these broad classes are studied in subsequent chapters. In particular, Chapter 5 extends many of the results from Chapters 2 and 3 to spherically and elliptically symmetric distributions. Chapter 6 considers the general linear model with spherically symmetric error distributions when a residual vector is available. Chapter 7 then considers the problem of estimating a location vector which is constrained to lie in a convex set. Much of the chapter is devoted to one of two types of constraint sets, balls and polyhedral cones. In Chapter 8 the authors focus on loss estimation and data-dependent evidence reports. Appendices cover a number of technical topics including weakly differentiable functions; examples where Stein’s identity doesn’t hold; Stein’s lemma and Stokes’ theorem for smooth boundaries; harmonic, superharmonic and subharmonic functions; and modified Bessel functions.

Dominique Fourdrinier is a Professor of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Rouen in France and an Adjunct Professor of Statistical Science at Cornell University. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, both in Mathematical Statistics, at the University of Rouen. He is noted for his deep insights on the connections between shrinkage estimation and the properties of differential operators and has made important contributions to Bayesian statistics, decision theory, estimation theory, spherical and elliptical symmetry, the Stein phenomena as well as to statistical methods for signal and image processing. William E. Strawderman is a Professor of Statistics at Rutgers University. He earned an M.S. in Mathematics from Cornell University and a second M.S. in Statistics from Rutgers, and then completed his Ph.D. in Statistics, also at Rutgers. He is a fellow of both the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and American Statistical Society and an Elected Member, International Statistical Institute. In 2015 he was named a Distinguished Alumni at Cornell. He is noted for path-breaking work in shrinkage estimation and has made fundamental contributions to a number of additional areas in statistics, including Bayesian statistics, decision theory, spherical symmetry, and biostatistics.
