We consider the case that a priori known or suspected set of the explanatory variables do not contribute to predict the response so that a sub-model maybe enough for this purpose. Thus, the main interest is to estimate beta(1) when beta(2) is close to zero. Therefore, we investigate the performance of the suggested estimators asymptotically and via a Monte Carlo simulation study. Moreover, we present a real data example to evaluate the relative efficiency of the suggested estimators, where we demonstrate the superiority of the proposed estimators.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSub-modelfull modelpretest and shrinkage estimationpenalty estimationMonte Carlo simulationArticle56239642010.1080/02331888.2022.20550302-s2.0-85128055123Q3WOS:000776150900001Q4
