Abstract

Schaefer et al. [15] proposed a ridge logistic estimator in logistic regres-

sion model. In this paper a new estimator based on the ridge logistic

estimator is introduced in logistic regression model and we call it as

almost unbiased ridge logistic estimator. The performance of the new

estimator over the ridge logistic estimator and the maximum likelihood

estimator in scalar mean squared error criterion is investigated. We

also present a numerical example and a simulation study to illustrate

the theoretical results.
