Liu-Type Logistic Estimators with Optimal Shrinkage Parameter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multicollinearity in logistic regression affects the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator negatively. In this study, Liu-type estimators are used to reduce the variance and overcome the multicollinearity by applying some existing ridge regression estimators to the case of logistic regression model. A Monte Carlo simulation is given to evaluate the performances of these estimators when the optimal shrinkage parameter is used in the Liu-type estimators, along with an application of real case data.

Jackknifed Liu-type Estimator in Poisson Regression Model
The Liu estimator has consistently been demonstrated to be an attractive shrinkage method for reducing the effects of multicollinearity. The Poisson regression model is a well-known model in applications when the response variable consists of count data. However, it is known that multicollinearity negatively affects the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the Poisson regressio...
متن کاملClassic and Bayes Shrinkage Estimation in Rayleigh Distribution Using a Point Guess Based on Censored Data
Introduction In classical methods of statistics, the parameter of interest is estimated based on a random sample using natural estimators such as maximum likelihood or unbiased estimators (sample information). In practice, the researcher has a prior information about the parameter in the form of a point guess value. Information in the guess value is called as nonsample information. Thomp...
متن کاملDifferenced-Based Double Shrinking in Partial Linear Models
Partial linear model is very flexible when the relation between the covariates and responses, either parametric and nonparametric. However, estimation of the regression coefficients is challenging since one must also estimate the nonparametric component simultaneously. As a remedy, the differencing approach, to eliminate the nonparametric component and estimate the regression coefficients, can ...
متن کاملInference for the Type-II Generalized Logistic Distribution with Progressive Hybrid Censoring
This article presents the analysis of the Type-II hybrid progressively censored data when the lifetime distributions of the items follow Type-II generalized logistic distribution. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) are investigated for estimating the location and scale parameters. It is observed that the MLEs can not be obtained in explicit forms. We provide the approximate maximum likelihood...
متن کاملPositive-Shrinkage and Pretest Estimation in Multiple Regression: A Monte Carlo Study with Applications
Consider a problem of predicting a response variable using a set of covariates in a linear regression model. If it is a priori known or suspected that a subset of the covariates do not significantly contribute to the overall fit of the model, a restricted model that excludes these covariates, may be sufficient. If, on the other hand, the subset provides useful information, shrinkage meth...
