Abstract

This study deals with a comparison of  the performance of an  r-(k,d) class estimator which includes serveal estimators treatments for the problems, and (r-k)class estimator and combined estimators method(CEM) and 0rdinary least squares (OLS) estimator when  there is a problem of multicollinearity and auto-correlated errors in the data. The performance of  the estimators was compared in order to obtain the best estimator to overcome the two problems together  using root mean square error.It was found that the estimator is the best  r-(k,d) class estimator and then the (CEM) estimator
