Abstract

Existing model averaging methods are generally based on ordinary least squares (OLS) estimators. However, it is well known that the James–Stein (JS) estimator dominates the OLS estimator under quadratic loss, provided that the dimension of coefficient is larger than two. Thus, we focus on model averaging based on JS estimators instead of OLS estimators. We develop a weight choice method and prove its asymptotic optimality. A simulation experiment shows promising results for the proposed model average estimator.
