By the Liu estimation approach, we construct a profile Liu estimator for the constant coefficients. Furthermore, a restricted profile-Liu estimator is proposed for the situation that some additional linear restrictions are available. The properties of the proposed estimators are investigated %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ijsp/article/view/0/41294
