Stein's Paradox Revisited. Everson (2007). "A Statistician Reads the Sports Pages," Chance, Vol. 20, No. 3.

Programs:

TLNise: TLNise stands for Two-Level Normal independent sampling estimation, and enables inference about the parameters of a 2-level Normal hierarchical model based on independent draws from their exact posterior distributions. This is in contrast to MCMC methods, which produces correlated draws from a Markov chain that converges to the exact distribution.

rcwish: The SPlus function rcwish generates random draws from the Wishart and related distributions.

norm.hm: The S-Plus function norm.hm performs empirical Bayes inference for a two-level normal hierarchical model with univariate outcomes. The file norm.hm contains the S-Plus source code, which must be read into S-Plus. The file normhm.tex is a latex README file, which should be converted to a .dvi file before printing.
