A restricted gamma ridge regression estimator combining the gamma ridge regression and the restricted maximum likelihood methods of estimation
In this article, we propose a restricted gamma ridge regression estimator (RGRRE) by combining the gamma ridge regression (GRR) and restricted maximum likelihood estimator (RMLE) to combat multicollinearity problem for estimating the parameter (Formula presented.) in the gamma regression model. The properties of the new estimator are discussed, and its superiority over the GRR, RMLE and traditiona
