Preliminary test Liu-type estimators based on W,LR, and LM test statistics in a regression model

This article discusses the preliminary test approach for the regression parameter in multiple regression model. The preliminary test Liu-type estimators based on the Wald (W), Likelihood ratio (LR), and Lagrangian multiplier(LM) tests are presented, when it is supposed that the regression parameter may be restricted to a subspace. We also give the bias and mean squared error of the proposed estimators and the superior of the proposed estimators is also discussed.
