The parameter estimation problem in linear model is considered when multicollinearity and outliers exist simultaneously.A class of new estimators,robust general shrunken estimators,are proposed by grafting the robust estimation techniques philosophy into the biased estimator,and their statistical properties are discussed.By appropriate choices of the shrinking parameter matrix,we obtain many useful and important estimators.A numerical example is used to illustrate that these new estimators can not only effectively overcome difficulty caused by multicollinearity but also resist the influence of outliers.
