<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>It is now 62 years since the publication of James and Stein’s seminal article on the estimation of a multivariate normal mean vector. The paper made a spectacular first impression on the statistical community through its demonstration of inadmissability of the maximum likelihood estimator. It continues to be influential, but not for the initial reasons. Empirical Bayes shrinkage estimation, now a major topic, found its early justification in the James–Stein formula. Less obvious downstream topics include Tweedie’s formula and Benjamini and Hochberg’s false discovery rate algorithm. This is a short and mainly non-technical review of the James–Stein rule and its effects on the machine learning era of statistical innovation.</jats:p>
