<abstract> <p>The beta regression model has become a popular tool for assessing the relationships among chemical characteristics. In the BRM, when the explanatory variables are highly correlated, then the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) does not provide reliable results. So, in this study, we propose a new modified beta ridge-type (MBRT) estimator for the BRM to reduce the effect of multicollinearity and improve the estimation. Initially, we show analytically that the new estimator outperforms the MLE as well as the other two well-known biased estimators i.e., beta ridge regression estimator (BRRE) and beta Liu estimator (BLE) using the matrix mean squared error (MMSE) and mean squared error (MSE) criteria. The performance of the MBRT estimator is assessed using a simulation study and an empirical application. Findings demonstrate that our proposed MBRT estimator outperforms the MLE, BRRE and BLE in fitting the BRM with correlated explanatory variables.</p> </abstract>

The analysis of misspecification was extended to the recently introduced stochastic restricted biased estimators when multicollinearity exists among the explanatory variables. The Stochastic Restricted Ridge Estimator (SRRE), Stochastic Restricted Almost Unbiased Ridge Estimator (SRAURE), Stochastic Restricted Liu Estimator (SRLE), Stochastic Restricted Almost Unbiased Liu Estimator (SRAULE), Stochastic Restricted Principal Component Regression Estimator (SRPCRE), Stochastic Restricted r-k (SRrk) class estimator, and Stochastic Restricted r-d (SRrd) class estimator were examined in the misspecified regression model due to missing relevant explanatory variables when incomplete prior information of the regression coefficients is available. Further, the superiority conditions between estimators and their respective predictors were obtained in the mean square error matrix (MSEM) sense. Finally, a numerical example and a Monte Carlo simulation study were used to illustrate the theoretical findings.

We consider two kinds of weighted mixed almost unbiased estimators in a linear stochastic restricted regression model when the prior information and the sample information are not equally important. The superiorities of the two new estimators are discussed according to quadratic bias and variance matrix criteria. Under such criteria, we perform a real data example and a Monte Carlo study to illustrate theoretical results.

This paper considers the estimation of a linear EV (errors-in-variables) regression model under martingale difference errors. The usual least squares estimations lead to biased estimators of the unknown parametric when measurement errors are ignored. By correcting the attenuation we propose a modified least squares estimator for a parametric component and construct the estimators of another parameter component and error variance. The asymptotic normalities are also obtained for these estimators. The simulation study indicates that the modified least squares method performs better than the usual least squares method.

In this paper, we consider a linear regression model when relevant regressors are omitted. We derive the explicit formulae for the predictive mean squared errors (PMSEs) of the Stein-rule (SR) estimator, the positive-part Stein-rule (PSR) estimator, the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator, and the adjusted minimum mean squared error (AMMSE) estimator. It is shown analytically that the PSR estimator dominates the SR estimator in terms of PMSE even when there are omitted relevant regressors. Also, our numerical results show that the PSR estimator and the AMMSE estimator have much smaller PMSEs than the ordinary least squares estimator even when the relevant regressors are omitted.

In the linear regression model, the restricted biased estimation as one of important  methods to addressing the high variance and the  multicollinearity problems. In this paper, we make the simulation study of the some restricted biased estimators. The mean square error (MME) criteria are used to make a comparison  among them. According to the simulation study we observe that, the performance of the restricted modified unbiased  ridge regression estimator (RMUR) was proposed by  Bader and Alheety (2020)  is better than  of these estimators. Numerical example have been considered to illustrate the performance of the estimators.
