Stein's Paradox: Shrinking to Improve All Estimates

We explore the counterintuitive James–Stein estimator: why pooling multiple normal means and shrinking toward a common center lowers total risk in three or more dimensions. We'll unpack geometric intuition, the Brownian motion connection, and the practical implications for statistics and AI models.
