Abstract: | Consider the multivariate linear model for the random matrixYn×pMN(XB, VΣ), whereBis the parameter matrix,Xis a model matrix, not necessarily of full rank, andVΣ is annp×nppositive-definite dispersion matrix. This paper presents sufficient conditions on the positive-definite matrixVsuch that the statistics for testingH0: CB=0vsHa: CB≠0have the same distribution as under the i.i.d. covariance structureIΣ. |
