Improved Estimation of the Disturbance Variance in a Linear Regression Model
Abstract
This paper considers estimation of the disturbance variance in a linear regression model. A new class of improved estimators is obtained by extending results dating to Stein (1964). These estimators dominate the ordinary least square estimator under squared error loss.
