Maximum Likelihood Shrinkage in Regression[228K] |
The above link displays my 26 page manuscript, MLSIR.PDF. Here, I derive a closed-form expression for the shrinkage estimator within the 2-parameter Goldstein-Smith generalized ridge family that is most likely (under normal- distribution- theory) to attain minimum MSE risk. Some simulated risk profiles for uniform shrinkage are also displayed and discussed.

Influential Observations in Ridge Regression[219K] |
The above link is for my 31 page manuscript, INFLUIRR.PDF This is an introduction to linked "Visual Re-Regression" and "Leverage-Outlier" plots, including a Cook-like "overall influence" hyperbola.
