Stein-type estimation in logistic regression models based on minimum ϕ-divergence estimators

In this paper we present a study of Stein-type estimators for the unknown parameters in logistic regression models when it is suspected that the parameters may be restricted to a subspace of the parameter space. The Stein-type estimators studied are based on the minimum phi-divergence estimator instead on the maximum likelihood estimator as well as on phi-divergence test statistics.
