Lipovetsky and Conklin [12] proposed an estimator, two parameter ridge (ridge-2) estimator, as an alternative to the ordinary least squares (OLS) and the ordinary ridge (ridge-1) estimators in the presence of multicollinearity. Lipovetsky [13] improved the two parameter model and investigated various characteristics of ridge-2 solutions. In this paper, we compare ridge-2 estimator with the OLS, ridge-1 and contraction estimators with respect to matrix mean square error (MSE) criterion. A numerical example from the literature has been analyzed to evaluate the performance of mentioned estimators in the theoretical results. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
