A jackknifed ridge estimator in probit regression model

In this study, the effects of multicollinearity on the maximum likelihood estimator are analyzed in the probit regression model. It is known that the near-linear dependencies in the design matrix affect the maximum likelihood estimation negatively, namely, the standard errors become so large so that the estimations are said to be inconsistent. Therefore, a new jackknifed ridge estimator is introduced as an alternative to the maximum likelihood …
