Abstract

The paper considers an extension of Tran Van Hoa's family of 2SHI (two stage hierarchical information) estimators for the coefficient vector of a linear regression model and derives the conditions for the dominance of the 2SHI estimator over the OLS and Stein rule estimators under a Generalized Pitman Nearness (GPN) criterion when the disturbance variable is small.
