Abstract:In a general linear regression model, a generalized least squares estimator (GLSE) is widely employed as an estimator of regression coefficient. The efficiency of the GLSE is usually measured by its covariance (or risk) matrix. In this paper, it is shown that the covariance matrix remains the same as long as the distribution of the error term is elliptically symmetric. This implies that every efficiency result obtained under normal distribution assumption is still valid under elliptical symmetry. An application to a heteroscedastic linear model is also illustrated.
