The locally best estimators of the first and second order parameters in epoch regression models. (English) Zbl 0743.62057

Summary: In a linear epoch regression model the locally best linear unbiased estimators of the first order parameters and the locally minimum variance quadratic unbiased and invariant estimators of an unbiasedly and invariantly estimable linear function of the second order parameters in the \(j\)th epoch and after the \(j\)th epoch are derived. The algorithms mentioned utilize the special block structure of the model and the sparseness of the covariance matrix of the observation vector.
