Necessary and sufficient conditions for the superiority of the Stochastic Restricted Ordinary Ridge Estimator over the Mixed Estimator (ME), Ridge Estimator (RE) and Stochastic Mixed Ridge Estimator (SMRE) are obtained by using the Mean Square Error Matrix (MSEM) criterion. Finally the theoretical findings of the proposed estimator are illustrated by using a numerical example and a Monte Carlo simulation.en-USStatisticsMulticollinearityMixed estimatorRidge EstimatorStochastic Restricted Ordinary Ridge EstimatorMean Square Error MatrixArticle
