Two different shrinkage estimator classes for the shape parameter of classical Pareto distribution

In this study, biased estimators for the shape parameter of a classicalPareto distribution are proposed using two dierent shrinkage tech-niques which give a smaller mean square error than an unbiased esti-mator. Then these obtained biased estimators are compared with theunbiased estimator by the means of their mean square error.
