Efficiency of the modified jackknifed Liu-type estimator

In this article, we proposed a new estimator namely, modified jackknifed generalized Liu-type estimator (MJGLE). It is based on the criterion that it combines the ideas underlying both the generalized Liu estimator (GLE) and jackknifed generalized Liu estimator (JGLE). The performance of this estimator (MJGLE) is compared to that of the GLE and the JGLE. The ideas in the article are illustrated and evaluated using a real data example and simulations. © 2010 Springer-Verlag
