a global-local shrinkage prior for sparse signals that pulls noise coefficients strongly toward zero while leaving large true effects nearly unshrunk.

In Bayesian statistics, horseshoe prior refers to a global-local shrinkage prior for sparse signals that pulls noise coefficients strongly toward zero while leaving large true effects nearly unshrunk. This meaning comes from Carvalho (2010) in Biometrika.[1]
