Summary

The generalized ridge estimator, which considers generalizations of mean square error, is presented, and a mathematical rule of determining the optimalk-value is discussed. The generalized ridge estimator is examined in comparison with the least squares, the pseudoinverse, theJames-Stein-type shrinkage, and the principal component estimators, especially focusing their attention on improved adjustments for regression coefficients. An alternative estimation approach that better integrates a priori information is noted. Finally, combining the generalized ridge and robust regression methods is suggested.
