A Linear Algebraic Proof of the Gauss-Markov Theorem Under Generalized Conditions: Theory and Empirical Application to Clustered Clinical Data
2026-05-20
Abstract excerpt
The Gauss-Markov Theorem is central to linear statistical inference, assuring that Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) under the classical assumptions. But textbook proofs typically involve two assumptions - column full rank of the design matrix and spherical error covariance - that are often violated in practice. In this paper, we provide a single unified proof encompassing b...
