On empirical Bayes estimation of multivariate regression coefficient by R. J. Karunamuni, L. Wei

“…We investigate the empirical Bayes estimation problem of multivariate regression coefficients under squared error loss function. In particular, we consider the regression model Y=Xβ+ε, where Y is an m-vector of observations, X is a known m×k matrix, β is an unknown k-vector, and ε is an m-vector of unobservable random variables. …”
