This paper develops a new family of biased estimators, namely the double k-class, for the parameters of the general linear regression model. We note that James and Stein[7] Stein-rule estimator in the regression context is a member of the family of double k-class. The conditions for the existence of the moments and expressions for the exact and approximate bias, moment matrix, and the risk function of the double k-class estimator are analyzed.
