Abstract
In the framework of an abstract statistical model we propose a procedure for selecting an estimator from a given family of linear estimators. We derive an upper bound on the risk of the selected estimator and demonstrate how this result can be used in order to develop minimax and adaptive minimax estimators in specific nonparametric estimation problems.
