The James-Stein estimator is a method of estimating the mean of a multivariate normal distribution that provides improved accuracy over traditional estimators when estimating multiple parameters simultaneously. It is especially notable for its ability to reduce mean squared error by shrinking the estimates towards a common mean, which results in more reliable estimates in cases where the number of parameters exceeds two.
congrats on reading the definition of James-Stein Estimator. now let's actually learn it.
