Abstract

For a broad class of linear biased estimators, we establish conditions under which the F statistic based on biased estimators is identical to the F statistic based on least-squares estimator. Several biased estimators in the literature are shown to satisfy these conditions.

Keywords: Biased estimator, F statistic, ridge estimator, shrinkage factor
