A generalized Stein-rule estimator of the vector of regression coefficients in linear regression model is considered and its properties are analyzed according to the criterion of Pitman nearness. A comparative study shows that the generalized Stein-rule estimator representing a class of estimators contains particular members which are better than the usual Stein-rule estimator according to the Pitman closeness.
