Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to generalize testing and estimation for the multivariate standard incomplete block model (Rao & Mitra, 1971a) to the general multivariate Gauss-Markov incomplete block model with singular covariance matrix. The results of this paper can be applied to particular cases of the multivariate Gauss-Markov incomplete block model, including the Zyskind-Martin model.
