    Abstract

    It is shown that the least squares estimators of B and Σ in the multivariate linear model {EYi=X1B, D(Yi) =Σ, 1 ≤i≤n, Y1Yn uncorrelated} subject to the constraints YiM=XiN are just the usual least squares estimators B̂= (X'X)‐1X'Y and ΣC = 1/n(Y‐XB̂)(Y‐XB̂) in the unconstrained model where Σ has full rank. Tests of hypotheses concerning B are discussed for situations in which each Yi has a multivariate normal distribution, and examples of the applicability of the model reviewed.
