Abstract

The paper deals with two approaches to the estimation of the parameters β and σ2 in the General Gauss-Markoff (GGM) model represented by the triplet (Y, Xß, σ2V), where E(Y)=Xβ and D(Y) =σ2V, when no assumptions are made about the ranks of X and V. One is called Inverse Partition Matrix (IPM) method, which depends on the numerical evaluation of the g-inverse of a partitioned matrix. The second is an analogue of least squares theory applicable even when V is singular, unlike Atiken's method which is applicable only for non-singular V, and is called Unified Least Square (ULS) method.
