Abstract: | Among criteria for the least squares estimator in a linear model (y, Xβ, V) to be simultaneously the best linear unbiased estimator, one convenient for applications is that of Anderson (1971, 1972). His result, however, has been developed under assumptions of full column rank for X and nonsingularity for V. Subsequently, this result has been extended by Styan (1973) to the case when the restriction on X is removed. In this note, it is shown that also the restriction on V can be relaxed and, consequently, that Anderson's criterion is applicable to the general linear model without any rank assumptions at all. |
