Abstract
In this paper, we introduced a Liu-type estimator for the vector of parameters β in a semiparametric regression model. We also obtained the semiparametric restricted Liu-type estimator for the parametric component in a semiparametric regression model. The ideas in the paper are illustrated in a real data example and in a Monte Carlo simulation study.
