Simultaneous Prediction of Actual and Average Values of Study Variable Using Stein-rule Estimators
نویسنده
چکیده
The simultaneous prediction of average and actual values of study variable in a linear regression model is considered in this paper. Generally, either of the ordinary least squares estimator or Stein-rule estimators are employed for the construction of predictors for the simultaneous prediction. A linear combination of ordinary least squares and Stein-rule predictors are utilized in this paper to construct an improved predictors. Their efficiency properties are derived using the small disturbance asymptotic theory and dominance conditions for the superiority of predictors over each other are analyzed.

Comparison of Small Area Estimation Methods for Estimating Unemployment Rate
Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...
متن کاملPrediction of Response Values in Linear Regression Models from Replicated Experiments
This paper considers the problem of prediction in a linear regression model when data sets are available from replicated experiments. Pooling the data sets for the estimation of regression parameters, we present three predictors|one arising from the least squares method and two stemming from Stein-rule method. EEciency properties of these predictors are discussed when they are used to predict a...

In this article we have considered two families of predictors for the simultaneous prediction of actual and average values of study variable in a linear regression model when a set of stochastic linear constraints binding the regression coe cients is available These families arise from the method of mixed regression estimation Performance properties of these families are analyzed when the objec...
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 کاملThe Ratio-type Estimators of Variance with Minimum Average Square Error
The ratio-type estimators have been introduced for estimating the mean and total population, but in recent years based on the ratio methods several estimators for population variance have been proposed. In this paper two families of estimators have been suggested and their approximation mean square error (MSE) have been developed. In addition, the efficiency of these variance estimators are com...
