Data in non-Euclidean spaces are commonly encountered in many fields of Science and Engineering. For instance, in Robotics, attitude sensors capture orientation which is an element of a Lie group. In the recent past, several researchers have reported methods that take into account the geometry of Lie Groups in designing parameter estimation algorithms in nonlinear spaces. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) are quite commonly used for such tasks and it is well known in the field of statistics that Steins shrinkage estimators dominate the MLE in a mean-squared sense assuming the observations are from a normal population. In this paper, we present a novel shrinkage estimator for data residing in Lie groups, specifically, abelian or compact Lie groups. The key theoretical results presented in this paper are: (i) Steins Lemma and its proof for Lie groups and, (ii) proof of dominance of the proposed shrinkage estimator over MLE for abelian and compact Lie groups. We present examples of simulation studies of the dominance of the proposed shrinkage estimator and an application of shrinkage estimation to multiple-robot localization.

Consider estimating the n by p matrix of means of an n by p matrix of independent normally distributed observations with constant variance, where the performance of an estimator is judged using a p by p matrix quadratic error loss function. A matrix version of the James-Stein estimator is proposed, depending on a tuning constant. It is shown to dominate the usual maximum likelihood estimator for some choices of of the tuning constant when n is greater than or equal to 3. This result also extends to other shrinkage estimators and settings.

In this paper, we are basically discussing on a class of Baranchik type shrinkage estimators of the vector parameter in a location model, with errors belonging to a sub-class of elliptically contoured distributions. We derive conditions under Schwart z space in which the underlying class of shrinkage estimators outperforms the sample mean. Sufficient conditions on dominant class to outperform the usual James-Stein estimator are also established. It is nicely presented that the dominant properties of the class of estimators are robust truly respect to departures from normality.

Yang (1978) considered an empirical estimate of the mean residual life function on a fixed finite interval. She proved it to be strongly uniformly consistent and (when appropriately standardized) weakly convergent to a Gaussian process. These results are extended to the whole half line, and the variance of the the limiting process is studied. Also, nonparametric simultaneous confidence bands for the mean residual life function are obtained by transforming the limiting process to Brownian motion.
We consider the problem of estimating the mean vector $theta$ of a $d$-dimensional spherically symmetric distributed $X$ based on balanced loss functions of the forms: {bf (i)} $omega rho(|de-de_{0}|^{2}) +(1-omega)rho(|de - theta|^{2})$ and {bf (ii) } $ellleft(omega |de - de_{0}|^{2} +(1-omega)|de - theta|^{2}right)$, where $delta_0$ is a target estimator, and where $rho$ and $ell$ are increasing and concave functions. For $dgeq 4$ and the target estimator $delta_0(X)=X$, we provide Baranchik-type estimators that dominate $delta_0(X)=X$ and are minimax. The findings represent extensions of those of Marchand & Strawderman (cite{ms2020}) in two directions: {bf (a)} from scale mixture of normals to the spherical class of distributions with Lebesgue densities and {bf (b)} from completely monotone to concave $rho$ and $ell$.
In this study, we propose shrinkage methods based on {it generalized ridge regression} (GRR) estimation which is suitable for both multicollinearity and high dimensional problems with small number of samples (large $p$, small $n$). Also, it is obtain ed theoretical properties of the proposed estimators for Low/High Dimensional cases. Furthermore, the performance of the listed estimators is demonstrated by both simulation studies and real-data analysis, and compare its performance with existing penalty methods. We show that the proposed methods compare well to competing regularization techniques.
