Estimations of parametric functions under a system of linear regression equations with correlated errors across equations involve many complicated operations of matrices and their generalized inverses. In the past several years, a useful tool -- the matrix rank method was utilized to simplify various complicated operations of matrices and their generalized inverses. In this paper, we use the matrix rank method to derive a variety of new algebraic and statistical properties for the best linear unbiased estimators （BLUEs） of parametric functions under the system. In particular, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for some equalities, additive and block decompositions of BLUEs of parametric functions under the system to hold.
This paper studies relationships between the best linear unbiased estimators （BLUEs） of an estimable parametric functions Kβunder the Gauss-Markov model {y, Xβ, σ^2]E} and its misspecified model {y, X0β,σ^2∑0}. In addition, relationships between BLUEs under a restricted Gauss Markov model and its misspecified model are also investigated.
