Abstract

The problems of the existence of the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUE) and of their equality to the ordinary least squares estimators (OLSE) of the expected value of the observations are treated in a coordinate-free approach using a multivariate growth-curve model. It will be proved that the alternative forms of the necessary and sufficient conditions used in solving these problems are independent of the between-individuals design matrix of the model.
