Maximum Likelihood Shrinkage via Generalized Ridge or Least
Angle Regression
Description
Identify and display TRACEs for a specified shrinkage path and determine
the extent of shrinkage most likely, under normal distribution theory, to produce an
optimal reduction in MSE Risk in estimates of regression (beta) coefficients. Alternative
estimates are also provided when ill-conditioned (nearly multicollinear) models yield
OLS estimates with "wrong" numerical signs.
