Best Linear Unbiased Estimation in Linear Models

چکیده
where X is a known n × p model matrix, the vector y is an observable ndimensional random vector, β is a p × 1 vector of unknown parameters, and ε is an unobservable vector of random errors with expectation E(ε) = 0, and covariance matrix cov(ε) = σV, where σ > 0 is an unknown constant. The nonnegative definite (possibly singular) matrix V is known. In our considerations σ has no role and hence we may put σ = 1. As regards the notation, we will use the symbolsA,A,A, C (A), C (A), and N (A) to denote, respectively, the transpose, a generalized inverse, the Moore–Penrose inverse, the column space, the orthogonal complement of the column space, and the null space, of the matrix A. By (A : B) we denote the partitioned matrix with A and B as submatrices. By A we denote any matrix satisfying C (A) = N (A) = C (A). Furthermore, we will write PA = AA = A(AA)A to denote the orthogonal projector (with respect to the standard inner product) onto C (A). In particular, we denote H = PX and M = In −H. One choice for X ⊥ is of course the projector M.

متن کاملClassic and Bayes Shrinkage Estimation in Rayleigh Distribution Using a Point Guess Based on Censored Data
Introduction In classical methods of statistics, the parameter of interest is estimated based on a random sample using natural estimators such as maximum likelihood or unbiased estimators (sample information). In practice, the researcher has a prior information about the parameter in the form of a point guess value. Information in the guess value is called as nonsample information. Thomp...
متن کاملSome New Developments in Small Area Estimation
Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...
