K - Class estimators - a Review


Zoha Qayyum, S. Suhaib Hasan
Abstract

In the estimation of linear equations various estimators have been developed over the years. An important family of estimators which includes many interesting estimators is K-class estimators based on the pioneering work of Previous researchers. In this paper an attempt has been made to review the work done on the properties of K-class estimators, both asymptotic and small sample properties. The case of small disturbances and system estimators has also been covered. In the end scope for their investigations is briefly discussed.

Keywords
Estimation, Econometric relation, Least Squares, Asymptotic and small sample, Small disturbance.
