A new research paper delves into the impact of prior choices on high-dimensional shrinkage risk, specifically examining the difference between priors that are flat on variance versus those flat on standard deviation. The study demonstrates that these distinct prior allocations near the zero-scale boundary lead to different shrinkage behaviors. Under a radial-power benchmark, priors flat on standard deviation show an asymptotic risk advantage near the origin and exhibit distinct behavior in critical regimes. AI
