Title:
 Estimators of unknown parameters in the growth curve model with the uniform correlation structure based on different estimators of variance matrix

Language: English

Keywords:
growth curve models
uniform correlation structure
estimators of variance parameters
maximum likelihood estimators
outer product estimator
orthogonal decomposition

Summary:
We derive and compare different estimators of unknown parameters in the growth curve model with a uniform correlation structure based on various estimators of variance matrix. We deal with uniformly minimum variance unbiased invariant estimator (UMVUIE), maximum likelihood estimator and outer product estimator of variance matrix. In these cases we also show the orthogonal decomposition.
