The exact properties of the lawless and wang operational ridge regression estimator in a misspecified regression equation

The exact properties of the Lawless and Wang Operational Ridge Regression estimator are derived in the context of a misspecified regression equation.     

Study of partial least squares and ridge regression methods

This article considers both Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Ridge Regression (RR) methods to combat multicollinearity problem. A simulation study has been conducted to compare their performances with respect to Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). With varying degrees of multicollinearity, it is found that both, PLS and RR, estimators produce significant reductions in the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Prediction Mean Square Error (PMSE) over OLS. However, from the simulation study it is evident that the RR performs better when the error variance is large and the PLS estimator achieves its best results when the model includes more variables. However, the advantage of the ridge regression method over PLS is that it can provide the 95% confidence interval for the regression coefficients while PLS cannot.     

Asymptotic confidence intervals in ridge regression based on the Edgeworth expansion

Ridge Regression techniques have been found useful to reduce mean square errors of parameter estimates when multicollinearity is present. But the usefulness of the method rest not only upon its ability to produce good parameter estimates, with smaller mean squared error than Ordinary Least Squares, but also on having reasonable inferential procedures. The aim of this paper is to develop asymptotic confidence intervals for the model parameters based on Ridge Regression estimates and the Edgeworth expansion. Some simulation experiments are carried out to compare these confidence intervals with those obtained from the application of Ordinary Least Squares. Also, an example will be provided based on the well known data set of Hald.     

A note on the moments of stochastic shrinkage parameters in ridge regression

The purpose of this note is to gain insight on the performance of two well known operational Ridge Regression estimators by deriving the moments of their stochastic shrinkage parameters. We also show that, under certain conditions, one of them has bounded moments.     

Some Asymptotic Properties of Ridge Regression in a System of Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations

A discussion is made of asymptotic properties of an Operational Ordinary Ridge Regression estimator and comparison is made with the Operational Generalized Least Squares estimator. Also, some simulation experiments are carried showing efficiency gains can be made through the use of de Ridge estimator.     

A Simulation Study of Ridge Regression Estimators with Autocorrelated Errors

In this paper we run a large number of simulations to study the effects of collinearity and autocorrelated disturbances in the performance of several Ridge Regression estimators. The results suggest that with a fair amount of multicollinearity and of autocorrelation the Ridge Regression estimators which take the autocorrelation into account can perform better than the other methods. Also if the error term is only moderately autocorrelated; then the performance of the Ridge Regression estimators built upon ignoring the autocorrelation can outperform the other estimators.     

Exact moments of lawless and wang's operational ridge regression estimator

Assuming the disturbances are normally distributed, we derive expressions for, and simple conditions for the existence of the exact bias and matrix of second order moments of the Lawless and Wang Operational Ridge Regression estimator.     

A non stochastic ridge regression estimator and comparison with the James-Stein estimator

Abstract

This article presents a non-stochastic version of the Generalized Ridge Regression estimator that arises from a discussion of the properties of a Generalized Ridge Regression estimator whose shrinkage parameters are found to be close to their upper bounds. The resulting estimator takes the form of a shrinkage estimator that is superior to both the Ordinary Least Squares estimator and the James-Stein estimator under certain conditions. A numerical study is provided to investigate the range of signal to noise ratio under which the new estimator dominates the James-Stein estimator with respect to the prediction mean square error.
