Distribution-Free Shrinkage of High-Dimensional Mean Vector
高维均值向量的分布无关收缩估计
We introduce shrinkage estimators of the sample mean vector in high dimension. Our estimators share desirable properties relative to existing methods: they are distribution-free, consider bona-fide target estimators, and use simple estimators of the shrinkage intensities independent of the precision matrix which are L2 consistent in high dimension. Unlike existing estimators that impose that the whitened data be an i.i.d. matrix, we only impose i.i.d. across sample…
