An algorithm is given for selacting the biasing paramatar, k, in RIDGE regrassion. By means of simulaction it is shown that the algorithm has the following properties: (i) it produces an aberaged squared error for the regrassion coafficiants that is les than least squares, (ii) the distribuction of squared arrots for the regression coafficiants has a smallar variance than does that for last squares, and (iii) regradless of he signal-to-noiss retio the probability that RIDGE producas a smaller squared error than least squares is greatar than 0.50.
