Abstract

For the general Gauss–Markov model with E( Y )= X β and Var( Y )= V , we give a concise proof of an explicit characterization of the general nonnegative-definite covariance structure V such that the best linear unbiased estimator, weighted least-squares estimator, and least-squares estimator of X β are identical.
