In this paper, we suggest improved estimation strategies based on preliminarily test and shrinkage principles in a seemingly unrelated regression model when explanatory variables are affected by multicollinearity. To that end, we split the vector regression coefficient of each equation into two...

This paper proposes a semiparametric local polynomial estimator for modelling agricultural time-series. We consider the modelling of the crop yield variable according to determined financial risk factors in Turkey. The derivation of a semiparametric local polynomial estimator is provided with...

In this paper, we discuss various large sample estimation techniques in a nonlinear regression model. We propose estimators on the basis of preliminary tests of significance and James-Stein rule. The properties of these estimators are studied in the problem of estimating regression coefficients...

A large-sample test for testing the equality of two effect sizes is presented. The null and non-null distributions of the proposed test statistic are derived. Further, the problem of estimating the effect size is considered when it is a priori suspected that two effect sizes may be close to each...
