Abstract
In this article we consider the problem of estimating the coefficient vector of a classical regression model when it is apriori suspected that the parameters vector may belong to a subspace. Two estimators; namely the positive-part of Stein-type estimator and the improved preliminary test estimator are proposed and it is demonstrated analytically as well as numerically that the proposed estimators dominate the usual Stein-type and pretest estimators respectively. The proposed estimators are also compared in terms of risks with that of the unrestricted estimator and we find that the positive-part of Stein-type estimator uniformly dominates the unrestricted estimator while the improved preliminary test estimator dominates the unrestricted estimator in a wider range than that of the usual pretest estimator.
