An analytical shrinkage estimator for linear regression

Author

  • Lassance, Nathan

Abstract

We derive an analytical solution to the optimal shrinkage of OLS regression coefficients toward a constant target, under any first two moments of predictors. The estimator closely mimics the prediction performance of ridge penalty, which admits no general analytical solution.
