Akdeniz, FikriRoozbeh, Mehdi12.07.20192019-07-1212.07.20192019-07-122017093-25026https://doi.org/10.1007/s00362-017-0893-9https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12507/412In this paper, a generalized difference-based estimator is introduced for the vector parameter (Formula presented.) in partially linear model when the errors are correlated. A generalized difference-based almost unbiased ridge estimator is defined for the vector parameter (Formula presented.). Under the linear stochastic constraint (Formula presented.), a new generalized difference-based weighted mixed almost unbiased ridge estimator is proposed. The performance of this estimator over the generalized difference-based weighted mixed estimator, the generalized difference-based estimator, and the generalized difference-based almost unbiased ridge estimator in terms of the mean square error matrix criterion is investigated. Then, a method to select the biasing parameter k and non-stochastic weight (Formula presented.) is considered. The efficiency properties of the new estimator is illustrated by a simulation study. Finally, the performance of the new estimator is evaluated for a real dataset.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDifference-Based EstimatorGeneralized Difference-Based Weighted Mixed Almost unbiased ridge estimatorGeneralized Ridge EstimatorPartially Linear ModelWeighted Mixed EstimatorArticle123WOS:0005049005000142-s2.0-8501416764310.1007/s00362-017-0893-9Q2Q2
