Abstract

The solution of the SURE model with singular variance-covariance matrixresults in redundancies and possibly inconsistencies among the observationsof the model. A numerical procedure is proposed and investigated thatgenerates a consistent model from an inconsistent one. The use of SVD has beenused to compute the various factorizations arising in the solution of the SUREmodel when treated as a generalized linear least squares problem.
