Performance of the principal component two-parameter estimator in misspecified linear regression model

In this article, we consider the performance of the principal component two-parameter estimator in situation of multicollinearity for misspecified linear regression model where misspecification is due to omission of some relevant explanatory variables. The conditions of superiority of the principal component two-parameter estimator over some estimators under the Mahalanobis loss function by the average loss criterion are derived. Furthermore, a real data example and a Monte Carlo simulation study are provided to illustrate some of the theoretical results.
