Empirical Bayes Estimation of Coefficients in the General Linear Model from Data of Deficient Rank.

Braun, Henry I.; And Others

Psychometrika, v48 n2 p171-81 Jun 1983

Empirical Bayes methods are shown to provide a practical alternative to standard least squares methods in fitting high dimensional models to sparse data. An example concerning prediction bias in educational testing is presented as an illustration. (Author)
