Abstract: In this study, we proposed an alternative biased estimator. The linear regression model might lead to ill-conditioned design matrices because of the multicollinearity and thus result in inadequacy of the ordinary least squares estimator (OLS). Scientists have developed alternative estimation techniques that would eradicate the instability in the estimates. Several biased estimators such as Stein estimator, the ordinary ridge regression (ORR) estimator, the principal components regression (PCR) estimator. Liu developed a Liu estimator (LE) by combining the Stein estimator with the ORR estimator. Since both ORR and LE depend on OLS estimator, multicollinearity affects them both. Therefore, the ORR and LE may give misleading information in the presence of multicollinearity. To overcome this problem, Liu introduced a new estimator, which is based on k and d biasing parameters, the authors worked on developing an estimator that would still have the valuable characteristics of the Liu-type estimator (LTE) but have a smaller bias. We are proposing a modified jackknife Liu-type estimator (MJLTE) that was created by combining the ideas underlying both the LTE and JLTE. Under mean square error matrix criteria, the MJLTE is superior to Liu-type estimator (LTE) and jackknifed Liu-type estimator (JLTE). Finally, a real data example and a Monte Carlo simulation are also given to illustrate theoretical results.
