Type: article
Abstract: Suppose that a weakly singular linear regression model M {\mathscr{M}} and its two competing restricted models M 1 {{\mathscr{M}}}_{1} and M 2 {{\mathscr{M}}}_{2} are given. We first compare the superiorities of the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) under M {\mathscr{M}} and M 1 {{\mathscr{M}}}_{1} related to the covariance matrix criterion and derive some necessary and sufficient conditions. Based on these conditions and the covariance matrix criterion, we then compare the superiorities of the BLUEs under M 1 {{\mathscr{M}}}_{1} and M 2 {{\mathscr{M}}}_{2} and obtain some results. We finally apply these results to measure the influence of an observation on the BLUE.
