Abstract

Abstract. The most popularly used method of estimating the parameters in a linear regression model is the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Estimator. This estimator is considered best when certain assumptions are satisfied. However, when any of these assumptions fail there is a need for other estimators. In this article, we proposed a new estimator that can handle jointly the violations of three of these assumptions which include multicollinearity, outliers, and an auto-correlated error term. Three estimators were combined to form Generalized-Ridge-Lad estimator. We compared the performance of the new estimator with some of the existing estimators in terms of their mean square error. The proposed estimator (GLSRIDGELAD) perform consistently better than other estimators when the three problems exist.
