Rezensionen

"The author has done a great job in writing the materials. The book is more on the theoretical and mathematical side than on the application side. The estimators and the results discussed in the book will be useful to practitioners in the physical, chemical, and engineering sciences. The book is a very good addition to the literature on James-Stein and ridge estimators. "
