Szczepanska-Alvarez, Anna; Hao, Chengcheng; Liang, Yuli; von Rosen, Dietrich

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to determine maximum-likelihood estimation equations. Observations follow a multivariate normal distribution, X-i similar to N-p,N-q (mu, Psi, Sigma), where D[X-i] = Sigma circle times Psi, Psi and Sigma describe the unknown covariance structure between rows and columns of X-i, respectively. Imposing restrictions on Psi and Sigma four types of covariance structures will be considered.

Keywords

Compound symmetric structure; Kronecker product; matrix derivatives; maximum-likelihood estimation
