We introduce an unbiased two-parameter estimator based on prior information and two-parameter estimator proposed by Özkale and Kaçıranlar, 2007. Then we discuss its properties and our results show that the new estimator is better than the two-parameter estimator, the ordinary least squares estimator, and explain the almost unbiased two-parameter estimator which is proposed by Wu and Yang, 2013. Finally, we give a simulation study to show the theoretical results.

The general linear regression model has been one of the most frequently used models over the years, with the ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) used to estimate its parameter. The problems of the OLS estimator for linear regression analysis include that of multicollinearity and outliers, which lead to unfavourable results. This study proposed a two-parameter ridge-type modified M-estimator (RTMME) based on the M-estimator to deal with the combined problem resulting from multicollinearity and outliers. Through theoretical proofs, Monte Carlo simulation, and a numerical example, the proposed estimator outperforms the modified ridge-type estimator and some other considered existing estimators.

The literature has shown that ordinary least squares estimator (OLSE) is not best when the explanatory variables are related, that is, when multicollinearity is present. This estimator becomes unstable and gives a misleading conclusion. In this study, a modified new two-parameter estimator based on prior information for the vector of parameters is proposed to circumvent the problem of multicollinearity. This new estimator includes the special cases of the ordinary least squares estimator (OLSE), the ridge estimator (RRE), the Liu estimator (LE), the modified ridge estimator (MRE), and the modified Liu estimator (MLE). Furthermore, the superiority of the new estimator over OLSE, RRE, LE, MRE, MLE, and the two-parameter estimator proposed by Ozkale and Kaciranlar (2007) was obtained by using the mean squared error matrix criterion. In conclusion, a numerical example and a simulation study were conducted to illustrate the theoretical results.
