The General Linear Model and the Generalized Singular Value Decomposition

Abstract

The general linear model with correlated error variables can be transformed by means of the generalized singular value decomposition to a very simple model (canonical form) where the least squares solution is obvious. The method works also if X and the covariance matrix of the error variables do not have full rank or are nearly rank deficient (rank-k approximation). By backtransformation one obtains the solution for the original model.
