Abstract: | Shrinkage estimators of a partially linear regression parameter vector are constructed by shrinking estimators in the direction of the estimate which is appropriate when the regression parameters are restricted to a linear subspace. We investigate the asymptotic properties of positive Stein-type and improved pretest semiparametric estimators under quadratic loss. Under an asymptotic distributional quadratic risk criterion, their relative dominance picture is explored analytically. It is shown that positive Stein-type semiparametric estimators perform better than the usual Stein-type and least square semiparametric estimators and that an improved pretest semiparametric estimator is superior to the usual pretest semiparametric estimator. We also consider an absolute penalty type estimator for partially linear models and give a Monte Carlo simulation comparisons of positive shrinkage, improved pretest and the absolute penalty type estimators. The comparison shows that the shrinkage method performs better than the absolute penalty type estimation method when the dimension of the parameter space is much larger than that of the linear subspace. |
