Abstract

We consider frequentist and empirical Bayes estimation of linear regression coefficients with T observations and K orthonormal regressors. The frequentist formulation considers estimators that are equivariant under permutations of the regressors. The empirical Bayes formulation (both parametric and nonparametric) treats the coefficients as i.i.d. and estimates their prior. Asymptotically; when K =Ï Î¤Î´ for 0
