srliu: Stochastic Restricted Liu Estimator

Description

This function can be used to find the Stochastic Restricted Liu Estimated values and corresponding scalar Mean Square Error (MSE) value. Further the variation of MSE can be shown graphically.

Usage

srliu(formula, r, R, dpn, delt, d, data = NULL, na.action, ...)

Arguments

formula

in this section interested model should be given. This should be given as a formula.

r

is a $j$ by $1$ matrix of linear restriction, $r = R\beta + \delta + \nu$. Values for r should be given as either a vector or a matrix. See

R

is a $j$ by $p$ of full row rank $j \le p$ matrix of linear restriction, $r = R\beta + \delta + \nu$. Values for R should be given as either a vector or a matrix. See Examples.

dpn

dispersion matrix of vector of disturbances of linear restricted model, $r = R\beta + \delta + \nu$. Values for dpn should be given as either a vector (only the diagonal elements) or a matrix. See Examples

delt

values of $E(r) - R\beta$ and that should be given as either a vector or a matrix. See Examples.

d

a single numeric value or a vector of set of numeric values. See Examples.

data

an optional data frame, list or environment containing the variables in the model. If not found in data, the variables are taken from environment(formula), typically the environment from which the function is called.

na.action

if the dataset contain NA values, then na.action indicate what should happen to those NA values.

...

currently disregarded.

Value

• If d is a single numeric values then srliu returns the Stochastic Restricted Liu Estimated values, standard error values, t statistic values, p value and corresponding scalar MSE value. If d is a vector of set of numeric values then srliu returns all the scalar MSE values and corresponding parameter values of Stochastic Resticted Liu Estimator.

Details

Since formula has an implied intercept term, use either y ~ x - 1 or y ~ 0 + x to remove the intercept. Use plot so as to obtain the variation of scalar MSE values graphically. See Examples.
