Abstract

Consider the multivariate linear model for the random matrix Yn×p∼MN(XB, V⊗Σ), where B is the parameter matrix, X is a model matrix, not necessarily of full rank, and V⊗Σ is an np×np positive-definite dispersion matrix. This paper presents sufficient conditions on the positive-definite matrix V such that the statistics for testing H0: CB=0 vs Ha: CB0 have the same distribution as under the i.i.d. covariance structure I⊗Σ.
