New Gaussian Approximation for Ridge Regression Estimator

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel Gaussian approximation for the finite-sample distribution of the ridge regression estimator. This approximation accounts for the estimator's bias-variance trade-off in reducing error and is based on nonstandard asymptotics where the regularization parameter grows with sample size and population coefficients are local to a reference vector. The method accommodates general heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in data, and it is used to propose two new strategies for selecting the regularization parameter to minimize prediction risk.

    A Simple Approximation to the Distribution of the Ridge Regression Estimator

    arXiv:2608.02539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a simple Gaussian approximation to the finite-sample distribution of the classical ridge regression estimator. Our approximation captures the fact that, in finite samples, the ridge regression estimator trades off bias …
