Özet

In this study, biased estimators for the shape parameter of a classical. Pareto distribution are proposed using two different shrinkage techniques which give a smaller mean square error than an unbiased estimator. Then these obtained biased estimators are compared with the unbiased estimator by the means of their mean square error.
