savvySh: Slab and Shrinkage Linear Regression Estimation

Implements a suite of shrinkage estimators for multivariate linear regression to improve estimation stability and predictive accuracy. Provides methods including the Stein estimator, Diagonal Shrinkage, the general Shrinkage estimator (solving a Sylvester equation), and Slab Regression (Simple and Generalized). These methods address Stein's paradox by introducing structured bias to reduce variance without requiring cross-validation, except for Shrinkage Ridge Regression where the intensity is chosen by minimizing an explicit Mean Squared Error (MSE) criterion. Methods are based on paper <https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35005/>.
