✦ Synopsis


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