A Note on Conditional Prediction in the Multivariate Linear Model
多元线性模型条件预测的一则注记
SUMMARY In this paper we investigate the effects of errors in the estimation of the covariance structure of a multivariate random vector on the prediction of unobserved components of a further vector conditional on the values of the remaining observed components of the vector. We derive an exact expression for the increase in the mean square error of the usual least squares predictor due to these estimation errors which shows that the increase is substantial for small…
