Estimation of regression coefficients in a linear regression model is essential not only to understand the relationship between the response (dependent) variable and the explanatory (independent) variables, but also for predicting the response variable efficiently. It is known that an improved shrinkage estimation of the regression coefficients leads to a better prediction of the response variable in terms of lower prediction mean squared error. In this review paper we revisit the shrinkage estimation of the regression coefficients, which is an extension of Stein�s seminal work on shrinkage estimation of a multivariate normal mean, and see its connection to prediction.
We have compiled materials from the existing major works on shrinkage estimation and added some new results (or extended some existing less known results) so that our review paper gives a comprehensive idea of the topic and hence helps the researchers interested in this area.
