| Abstract: | Swindel (1976) introduced a modified ridge regression estimator based on prior information. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for Swindel's proposed estimator to have lower risk than the conventional ordinary ridge regression estimator when both estimators are computed using the same value of k. |
