Some algebraic and statistical properties of WLSEs under a general growth curve model
Yongge Tian, Yoshio Takane · Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra · 2007
Growth curve models are used to analyze repeated measures data (longitudinal data),which are functions of time. General expressions of weighted least-squares estimators (WLSEs) ofparameter matrices were given under a general growth curve model. Some algebraic and statisticalproperties of the estimators are also derived through the matrix rank method.
