mean_bs: Bayes-Stein shrinkage estimator of the mean vector
Description
Bayes-Stein shrinkage estimator of the mean vector as suggested in
Jorion1986;textualHDShOP. The estimator is given by
$$\hat \mu_{BS} = (1-\beta) \bar x + \beta Y_0 1,$$ where
\(\bar x\) is the sample mean vector, \(\beta\) and \(Y_0\) are
derived using Bayesian approach (see Eq.(14) and Eq.(17) in
Jorion1986;textualHDShOP).
Usage
mean_bs(x)
Value
a numeric vector containing the Bayes-Stein shrinkage estimator
of the mean vector
Arguments
x
a p by n matrix or a data frame of asset returns. Rows represent
different assets, columns -- observations.
