Abstract
In this article, we introduce a semiparametric ridge regression estimator for the vector-parameter in a partial linear model. It is also assumed that some additional artificial linear restrictions are imposed to the whole parameter space and the errors are dependent. This estimator is a generalization of the well-known restricted least-squares estimator and is confined to the (affine) subspace which is generated by the restrictions. Asymptotic distributional bias and risk are also derived and the comparison result is then given.
