2 The Annals of Statistics 1973, Vol. 1, No. 1, ASYMPTOTICALLY EFFICIENT ESTIMATION OF COVARIANCE MATRICES WITH LINEAR STRUCTURE1 BY T. W. ANDERSON Stan ford University One or more observations are made on a random vector, whose covariance matrix may be a linear combination of known symmetric matrices and whose mean vector may be a linear combination of known vectors; the coefficients of the linear combinations are unknown parameters to be estimated. Under the assumption of normality, equations are developed for the maximum likelihood estimates. These equations may be solved by an iterative method; in each step a set of linear equations is solved. If consistent estimates of GO, GI,..., G, are used to obtain the coefficients of the linear equations, the solution of these equations is asymptotically efficient as the number of observations on the random vector tends to infinity. This result is a consequence of a theorem that the solution of the generalized least squares equations is asymptotically efficient if a consistent estimate of the covariance matrix is used. Applications are made to the components of variance model in the analysis of variance and the finite moving average model in time series analysis. 1. Introduction. This paper deals with estimation problems in which one or more observations are made on a p-component vector X with mean vector ZX = p and covariance matrix g7(x) = %(X - p)(x - p)' = Z. The mean vector may be a linear combination (1) p = c;=lsjzj of known p-component vectors, z,,..., z,, which are assumed (for convenience) to be linearly independent. The covariance matrix may be a linear combination (2) 2 = C$,agG, of known symmetric p x p matrices Go, G,,..., G,, which are assumed to be linearly independent; it is also assumed that there is at least one set a,, a,,..., a, such that (2) is positive definite. We want to estimate the set on the basis of N observations x,,..., x,. If Z is known or known to within a constant of proportionality, the best linear unbiased estimates or Markov estimates of i31,..., 13, are the solutions to Received November 24, 1971; revised May 31, Research supported by the Office of Naval Research under Contract Number N A Reproduction in whole or in part permitted for any purpose of the United States Government.

3 136 T. W. ANDERSON the normal equations (3) c;=~ zjlpziji = zjlz-lx, j= 1,...,r, where 5i is the sample mean. If X has a normal distribution, (3) are the likelihood equations, obtained by setting equal to 0 the derivatives of the likelihood function with respect to p,,..., P,, and the solution constitutes the maximum likelihood estimates. In any case the estimates are unbiased, gbi = pi, i = 1,..., r, and the covariance matrix of the estimates is (4) [g(ji7 Jj)] = (l/n)[zilz-lzj]-l. If p is known, and X has a normal distribution, the maximum likelihood estimates of a,, a,,..., a, are a solution of the likelihood equations (5) tr (CEO 8, Gh)-'G, where = ~ ~(C;I",,~~G~)-~G~(C;=,~,G,)-~C, g = 0, 1,...,m, (6) c = (l/n) C:=l (xn- p)(xk- p)' ; these equations result from setting equal to 0 the derivatives of the likelihood function with respect to a,, a,,..., a,. 8, to (5) such that There is at least one solution 8,, 8,,..., A (7) 2 = C;=, 8gG, is positive definite. If there is more than one solution to the likelihood equations, the absolute maximum to the likelihood function is attained by the solution minimizing 121. The estimates are consistent and asymptotically efficient as N -+ co;ni(8, - a,), Ni(8, - a,),..., Ni(8, - a,) have a limiting normal distribution with means 0 and covariance matrix (8) [$ tr EIGh Z-lGg]-l. See Anderson2 (1969), (1970). If both p and Z are unknown and X is normally distributed, the likelihood equations are (3) and (5) with Z replaced by (7) in (3) and,u replaced by,& = C;=,/gjzj in (6). The estimates are consistent; the two sets are asymptotically independent; and each set of estimates has the same asymptotic distribution as when the other set of parameters is kriown. The main purpose of this paper is to give a simple method of estimating a,, a,,..., a, that is asymptotically equivalent to maximum likelihood. 2. Estimation procedure. In view of (7) we can write (5) as These equations suggest an iterative procedure. Suppose,u is known. Let 8,(01, 81(0~,..., be an initial set of values. Let 81(i),..., 8m(i)be the solutions 2 The 1970 paper was written first, but there was a delay of four years between its receipt by the editors and its publication.
4 COVARIANCE MATRICES WITH LINEAR STRUCTURE 137 to the set of linear equations where If 2,-, is nonsingular, the matrix of coefficients in (10) is positive definite. [The proof of this statement was given by T. W. Anderson (1970) for gi-, replaced by I.] The iteration may be stopped at the ith stage if 80(i),..., c?,'~) do not differ by much from 80(i-'), 81(i-11,..., 8m(i-". Since 2% = 2, given by (2), unbiased and consistent estimates of a,, a,,..., a, can be obtained as the solution to (12) c,"=, tr OG, OG, 8, = tr OG, OC, g = 0, 1,..., m, for an arbitzary positive definite matrix O. [T. W. Anderson (1970) suggested O = I.] To obtain asymptotically efficient estimates only one step in the iteration is needed if the initial estimates are consistent (Theorem 2). If $, estimates..., 13, are to be estimated as well as o,, u,,...,a,, we can obtain initial...,,9,(0) on the basis of (3) with Z-' replaced by O. Then define C, by (6) with p replaced by P(O)= Cy=,pj(olzjand obtain initial estimates of a,, a,,..., a, from (12) with C replaced by C,. The iteration proceeds by using A (3) with Z replaced by 2,-'to obtain...,,$,(",, then P(%)= t9,(i)zj,then and then L?,(~',..., by (10) with C replaced by Ci. The matrix O can be I or a guess at Z-'. The solution of (10) requires evaluation of quantities such as tr A-'BA-'L, where A, B, and L are symmetric and A is positive definite. Finding A-' corresponds to solving AX = I. The "forward solution" of a method of pivotal condensation or successive elimination corresponds to multiplying this equation on the left by a lower triangular matrix F to obtain TX = F, where T is upper triangular. Then FAF' = TF' is diagonal and the diagonal elements are positive. Call the (positive diagonal) square root of this matrix D, and let H = D-IF. Then A-' = H'H, and tr A-'BA-'L = tr H'HBH'HL = tr HBH'HLH'. Thus only the forward solution is needed. [See ~kction 2.3 of T. W. Anderson (1971 b) for more details.] In many applications the special forms of Z make this easy to compute. As pointed out in earlier papers, the problem is simplified if Go= I and G, = PAhP1,where Ah is diagonal, h = 1,..., m, for some orthogonal matrix P. Suppose rulhl o
5 138 T. W. ANDERSON where the orders of the I's are p,, p,,...,p,, respectively, not depending on h. Let pkvk be the sum of the diagonal elements of P'CP in the position of v,, in A,. Then (5) is and (10) is 3. Asymptotic efficiency. To obtain asymptotically efficient estimates as N-t co we need only carry out the first stage of the iteration procedure. To show this we first consider the estimation of 48 = (PI,..., 13,)' when Z is estimated by a consistent estimate Z(N). Let the solution to (3) constitute &N), and let Z = (z,,...,z,). Then N+[~(N) -,4] has a limiting normal distribution with covariance matrix (Z'Z-lZ)-l even if X is not normal. THEOREM 1. Let x,,..., x, be identically independently distributed with mean ZX = ZB and covariance matrix Z and let g(n) be a consistent estimate of Z. Then, if j*(n) is the solution to (3) with Z replaced by i(~), N+[~*(N)- /3] has a limiting normal distribution with covariance matrix (Z'Z-lZ)-'. If &N) is asymptotically ejicient, so is P*(N). converges stochastically to 0, where E(N) is the mean of N observations, because and Nh[%(N) -Zp] = N+[E(N)-p] has a limiting distribution. Thus N,[~*(N) - /3] has a limiting normal distribution with mean 0 and covariance matrix (Z'Z-lZ)-l, which is the same as the limiting normal distribution of N+[-$(N)]. If B(N) is asymptotically efficient, then $*(N) is (in the same sense). When &N) is maximum likelihood, as when X has a normal distribution, it is asymptotically efficient in the sense of attaining the CramCr-Rao lower bound for the covariance matrix of unbiased estimates. This theorem includes the case where Z is a continuous function of a vector of parameters 8. Then Z(N) may be the function of a consistent estimate e(n) of 8. Note that B^(N) does not need to be independent of %(N) and N~[B^(N) - 81 does not need to be bounded in probability (as is usually required for this treatment of maximum likelihood estimates).
6 COVARIANCE MATRICES WITH LINEAR STRUCTURE 139 We shall now apply Theorem 1 to the estimation of o,, o,..., om when p is known. Let C = (cij),z = (oij),and G, = (gjs1). Let c be the vector with components cij, i 2 j. Let a be the vector with components oij,i 5 j, and g, be the vector with components g$), i j. Then and under normality of X the covariance matrix of c = (q5ij,h,), where q5ij,kl = aikojl+ gil ojk, i 5 j, k 5 I. [See T. W. Anderson (1958), Section 4.2.3, for example.] Since [T. W. Anderson (1969)l (10)for i = 1 is identical to (3)with the zj9sreplaced by gh9s,x by c, ji9s by b,'s, and Z a consistent estimate Theorem 1 can be applied. THEOREM 2. Let x,,..., x, be N observations from N(p, Z), where p is known and Z is given by (2). Let C be defined by (6). Let So(o),bliO),..., be a set of consistent estimates of a,, a,,..., a,. Let boil1,..., 8,'') be the solution to (10) for i = 1. Then Nh(boil)- a,), N+(B,(l) - a,),..., Nh(b,(ll - a,) have a limiting normal distribution with means 0 and covariance matrix (8), and b,(l), bl(l1,..., b,(l) are asymptotically eficient. If both sets pl,..., 13, and a,, a,,..., a, are estimated, initial estimates of a,, a,,..., a, can be obtained from (12) with p replaced by % in (6). Then jl(l),..., j7.(l]and b,'l], blil),..., bmillsatisfy Theorems 1 and 2 and are asymptotically efficient. 4. Applications. A general model for the analysis of variance can be written where U, is a p x n, matrix and b, has the distribution N(0, a, I),h = 1,..., m, e has the distribution N(0, a, I),and b,,..., b,, e are independent. Then Go= I and G, = UhUhr.Hartley and J. N. K. Rao (1967)derived the likelihood equation for this model with one observation on X. The two methods they propose for solving these equations are numerically more complicated than the method proposed in this paper. C. R. Rao (1972)has considered (21)for N = 1. His method involves finding $,(0),..., $,iol as outlined in Section 2 of this paper, then Pioland C,, and using (12)for estimates of a,, a,,..., a,. The moving average stationary stochastic process of finite order is defined by xt = p + $y=o agvt-g,where Fv, = 0, Yvt2 = 1, and k?v,v, = 0, t # s. Then &xt = p and a, = t'(x, - p)(x,+, - p) = Cyz; agag+,,h = 0, 1,..., m, and g(xt - p)(x,+, - p) = 0 for h > m. Here Go= I and gjf) = 1, I S - tl = h, g,;:]= 0, I S - tl # h, h = 1,..., m. If N = 1, the right-hand side of (10)is

The matrix Zi-,has nonzero elements only on the main diagonal and on diagonals within m of the main diagonal; each row of ii-,has at most 2m + 1 nonzero elements. In the forward solution by successive elimination of variables, for example, the elimination of one variable from all equations requires at most operations on m + 1 equations. At the end of the forward solution each equation has at most m + l unknowns. [See T. W. Anderson (1971 b) for details.] The number of arithmetic operations to find y is only a multiple of mp, rather than multiple of p2 as is the case with an arbitrary matrix of coefficients. The coefficients on the left-hand side of (10) can be approximated by using the fact that the inverse of the covariance matrix of a moving average process is approximately the covariance matrix of the autoregressive process with the same coefficients. [For example, see Anderson (1971 a) and Shaman (1969).] The sample serial covariances may serve as initial estimates of a,, a,,..., a,. In this model one observation vector is a univariate time series of length p. Then the asymptotic theory as p -t oo may be useful. Whittle (1953), (1954), A. M. Walker (1964), and Hannan (1970) have treated maximum likelihood estimates in the context of a spectral density depending on a finite number of parameters. It follows that ph(8, - a,),p&(s,- a,),..., ph(8, - a,) have a limiting normal distribution with means 0 and a covariance matrix which is the inverse of the matrix with elements 3 times (23) lim,,, p-i tr 2-'G, 2-IG, = 4(2r)-V, ag$li; cos Rh cos Agf-2(R) dr, where 6, = 4 and a,, = 1, h > 0, and f(r) is the spectral density. [T. W. Anderson (1971 b) has proved (23) directly; the result is valid for any continuous positive spectral density.] Durbin (1959), A. M. Walker (1962), Hannan (1969), (1970), Box and Jenkins (1970), and Clevenson (1969) have given other methods for estimating the 0,'s or ah's for the moving average process. The methods of Durbin and Walker are not asymptotically efficient; Box and Jenkins evaluate or approximate the likelihood; Hannan and Clevenson use the sample spectral density, involving a number of arithmetic operations proportional to p logp.
