Abstract

The standard linear model assumes the data vector has a covariance matrix of \(\sigma ^2 I\). Sections 2.7 and 3.8 extended the theory to having a covariance matrix of \(\sigma ^2 V\) where V was known and positive definite. This chapter extends the theory by allowing V to be merely nonnegative definite.
