In this paper a series representation of the joint density and the joint distribution of a quadratic form and a linear form in normal variables is developed. The expansion makes use of Laguerre polynomials. As an example the calculation of the joint distribution of the mean and the sample variance i

✦ Synopsis
Consider a general linear model Y=X;+Z where Cov Z may be known only partially. We investigate carefully the notions of sufficiency, ancillarity, invariance, and equivariance and related notions for projectors in a general linear model. In this way we can prove a Basu type theorem. This result can be used to give the relation between the sufficiency of the generalized least-squares estimator and the assumption that Z is normally distributed. So we can generalize the well-known result that the generalized least-squares estimator is sufficient for ; if Z is normally distributed. Further we can solve the converse problem as well.
