Estimating the True Accuracy of Regression Predictions

Authors

Richard B. Darlington, Cornell University

Abstract

Given the lack of mathematical proof to decide upon the best estimation technique, the author presents his comparison of four closed-formula estimators (Burkett, Claudy, Rozeboom, Browne) and the omit-one method for estimating TRS, the true shrunken correlation (not to be confused with TR, the true multiple correlation). The recommendations are based on artificial populations with known TRS.
