THE PREDICTIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND NUMERICAL EXAMPLE STUDY FOR THE PRINCIPAL COMPONENT TWO-PARAMETERS ESTIMATOR

Abstract

In this paper, detailed comparisons are given between those estimators that can be derived from the principal component two-parameter estimator such as the ordinary least squares estimator, the principal components regression estimator, the ridge regression estimator, the Liu estimator, the r-k estimator and the r-d estimator by the prediction mean square error criterion. In addition, conditions for the superiority of the principal component two-parameter estimator over the others are obtained. Furthermore, a numerical example study is conducted to compare these estimators under the prediction mean squared error criterion.
