In this paper, we propose a class of shrinkage proportion estimators which show improved performance over the sample proportion. We provide the “optimal” amount of shrinkage. The advantage of the proposed estimators is given theoretically as well as explored empirically by simulation studies and real data analyses.application/pdfenBiased estimatorPenalizationSample proportionShrinkage proportion estimatorJournal Article10.1080/03610926.2015.1048881
