Abstract

General ridge estimators are typical linear estimators in a general linear model. The class of them includes some shrinkage estimators in addition to classical linear unbiased estimators such as the ordinary least squares estimator and the weighted least squares estimator. Also, they have some properties such as linear sufficiency and admissibility in the class of linear estimators. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions under which two general ridge estimators coincide. In particular, two noteworthy conditions are added to those from previous studies. The first condition is given as a seemingly column space relationship to the covariance matrix of the error term, and the second one is based on the biases of general ridge estimators. Another problem studied in this paper is to derive an equivalence condition such that equality between two residual sums of squares holds when general ridge estimators are considered. Additionally, we demonstrate some concrete examples for which the equivalence conditions hold.
