Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimation Methods for Multicollinearity Proplem Combined with High Leverage Data PointsMoawad El-Fallah, Abd El-SallamProblem statement: Least Squares (LS) method has been the most popular method for estimating the parameters of a model due to its optimal properties and ease of computation. LS estimated regression may be seriously affected by multicollinearity which is a near linear dependency between two or more explanatory variables in the regression models. Although LS estimates are unbiased in the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 18 May 2011 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
