Abstract

In this present paper, considering a linear regression model with nonspherical disturbances, improved confidence sets for the regression coefficients vector are developed using the Stein rule estimators. We derive the large-sample approximations for the coverage probabilities and the expected volumes of the confidence sets based on the feasible generalized least-squares estimator and the Stein rule estimator and discuss their ranking.
