Inbred lines of D. serrata were derived from a population in St Lucia, Brisbane, Australia. Lines were created by imposing single-pair full-sibling mating for 10–16 generations (inbreeding coefficient ...

This paper proposes a novel shrinkage estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices by extending the Oracle Approximating Shrinkage (OAS) of Chen et al. (2009) to target the diagonal elements of ...
