Consider the multivariate linear model for the random matrix Y n\_p t MN(XB, V 7), where B is the parameter matrix, X is a model matrix, not necessarily of full rank, and V 7 is an np\_np positive-definite dispersion matrix. This paper presents sufficient conditions on the positive-definite matrix V

β¦ Synopsis
The null hypothesis that the error vectors in a multivariate linear model are independent is tested against the alternative hypothesis that they are dependent in some specified manner. This dependence is assumed to be due to common random components or autocorrelation over time. The testing problem is solved by classical invariance arguments under multinormality. The most powerful invariant test usually depends on the particular alternative and may even lack a closed form expression. Then the locally best test is derived. The power is maximized at the null hypothesis in the direction of some alternative. In most applications the direction where the maximization is performed does not enter the test. Then the locally uniformly best test exists. Several applications are outlined.

## Abstract In multivariate time series, estimation of the covariance matrix of observation innovations plays an important role in forecasting as it enables computation of standardized forecast error vectors as well as the computation of confidence bounds of forecasts. We develop an online, nonβite
A class of independent multivariate linear models is considered, having a common parameter matrix \(\theta\) in their means, but having different covariance matrices. For testing \(H_{0}: \Theta=0\), some test procedures are derived, which combine the information from the different models. In the co
## Abstract A downscaling model for multivariate data, e.g. weather elements recorded at multiple sites, should not only be able to fit each of the observed series well, but it should also be able to reproduce observed relationships between the variables. In a linear sense, this means accurately si
This paper is concerned with an extended growth curve model with two withinindividual design matrices which are hierarchically related. For the model some random-coefficient covariance structures are reduced. LR tests for testing the adequacy of each of these random-coefficient structures and their
