Abstract: This article proposes a novel enhancement to semi-parametric models by integrating shrinkage to improve the predictive accuracy and performance of Ridge and ecpc models. By employing the EM algorithm, updated parameter estimates are derived, demonstrating significant error reductions in metrics such as mean squared error (MSE), sum of squared errors (SSE), and geometric mean squared error (GMSE). Extensive simulation studies reveal consistent improvements in model performance, with shrinkage enhancing accuracy and robustness across various scenarios. The findings highlight the potential of shrinkage in refining semi-parametric models, offering a more accurate framework for statistical predictions. This study paves the way for future research into applying shrinkage techniques to diverse data types and model structures, setting a benchmark for model optimization in statistical analysis.
