Shrinkage Estimation Of Incomplete RegressionModels

چکیده
The problem of estimating the coeecients in a linear regression model is considered when some of the response values are missing. The conventional Yates procedure employing least squares predictions for missing values does not lead to any improvement over the least squares estimator using complete observations only. However, if we use Stein-rule predictions , it is demonstrated that some improvement can be achieved. An unbiased estimator of the mean squared error matrix of the proposed esti-mator of coeecient vector is also presented. Some work on the application of the proposed estimation procedure to real-world data sets involving some discrete variables in the set of explanatory variables is under way and will be reported in future.

Whenever approximate and initial information about the unknown parameter of a distribution is available, the shrinkage estimation method can be used to estimate it. In this paper, first the $ E $-Bayesian estimation of the parameter of inverse Rayleigh distribution under the general entropy loss function is obtained. Then, the shrinkage estimate of the inverse Rayleigh distribution parameter i...

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...
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...
