Abstract: | In a recent paper, Ullah and Ullah (1978) proposed a class of biased estimators, namely double k-class (k1, k2) for the coefficients in a linear regression model. Even though, this set of estimators contains James and Stein (1961) as a special case, in its present form, it does not contain the ridge type estimators. The aim of this note is to extend Ullah and Ullah set of estimators and then establish a relationship with the various operational ridge estimators. The conditions under which the extended set of estimators dominates the ordinary least squares estimator are analyzed. |
