This book discusses current methods of estimation in linear models. In particular, the authors address the methodology of linear multiple regression models that plays an important role in almost every scientific investigations in various fields, including economics, engineering, and biostatistics. The standard estimation method for regression parameters is the ordinary least square (OLS) principal where residual squared errors are minimized. Applied statisticians are often not satisfied with OLS estimators when the design matrix is ill-conditioned, leading to a multicollinearity problem...
