ogaul: Ordinary Generalized Almost Unbiased Liu Estimator

Description

ogaul can be used to find the Ordinary Generalized Almost Unbiased Liu Estimated values and corresponding scalar Mean Square Error (MSE) value in the linear model. Further the variation of MSE can be shown graphically.

Usage

ogaul(formula, d, data = NULL, na.action, ...)

Arguments

formula

in this section interested model should be given. This should be given as a formula.

d

a single numeric value or a vector of set of numeric values. See Example.

data

an optional data frame, list or environment containing the variables in the model. If not found in data, the variables are taken from environment(formula), typically the environment from which the function is called.

na.action

if the dataset contain NA values, then na.action indicate what should happen to those NA values.

...

currently disregarded.

Value

• If d is a single numeric value then ogaul returns the Ordinary Generalized Almost Unbiased Liu Estimated values, standard error values, t statistic values, p value and corresponding scalar MSE value. If d is a vector of set of numeric values then ogaul returns all the scalar MSE values and corresponding parameter values of Ordinary Generalized Almost Unbiased Liu Estimator.

Details

Since formula has an implied intercept term, use either y ~ x - 1 or y ~ 0 + x to remove the intercept. Use plot so as to obtained the variation of scalar MSE values graphically. See Examples.
