Gauss–Markov theorem

In statistics, the Gauss–Markov theorem, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss and Andrey Markov, states that in a linear regression model in which the errors have expectation zero and are uncorrelated and have equal variances, the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of the coefficients is given by the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator. Here "best" means giving the lowest variance of the estimate, as compared to other unbiased, linear estimators. The errors do not need to be normal, nor do they need to be independent and identically distributed (only uncorrelated with mean zero and homoscedastic with finite variance). The requirement that the estimator be unbiased cannot be dropped, since biased estimators exist with lower variance. See, for example, the James–Stein estimator (which also drops linearity) or ridge regression.
== Statement ==
Suppose we have in matrix notation,
: \underline = X \underline + \underline,\quad (\underline,\underline \in \mathbb^n, \beta \in \mathbb^K \text X\in\mathbb^)
expanding to,
: y_i=\sum_^\beta_j X_+\varepsilon_i \quad \forall i=1,2,\ldots,n
where \beta_j are non-random but unobservable parameters, X_ are non-random and observable (called the "explanatory variables"), \varepsilon_i are random, and so y_i are random. The random variables \varepsilon_i are called the "disturbance", "noise" or simply "error" (will be contrasted with "residual" later in the article; see errors and residuals in statistics). Note that to include a constant in the model above, one can choose to introduce the constant as a variable \beta_ with a newly introduced last column of X being unity i.e., X_ = 1 for all i .
The Gauss–Markov assumptions are
*E(\varepsilon_i)=0,
*V(\varepsilon_i)= \sigma^2 < \infty,
(i.e., all disturbances have the same variance; that is "homoscedasticity"), and
*(\varepsilon_i,\varepsilon_j) = 0, \forall i \neq j
for i\neq j that is, the error terms are uncorrelated. A linear estimator of \beta_j is a linear combination
:\widehat\beta_j = c_y_1+\cdots+c_y_n
in which the coefficients c_ are not allowed to depend on the underlying coefficients \beta_j , since those are not observable, but are allowed to depend on the values X_ , since these data are observable. (The dependence of the coefficients on each X_ is typically nonlinear; the estimator is linear in each y_i and hence in each random \varepsilon , which is why this is "linear" regression.) The estimator is said to be unbiased if and only if
:E(\widehat\beta_j)=\beta_j\,
regardless of the values of X_ . Now, let \sum_^K\lambda_j\beta_j be some linear combination of the coefficients. Then the mean squared error of the corresponding estimation is
:E \left(\left(\sum_^K\lambda_j(\widehat\beta_j-\beta_j)\right)^2\right);
i.e., it is the expectation of the square of the weighted sum (across parameters) of the differences between the estimators and the corresponding parameters to be estimated. (Since we are considering the case in which all the parameter estimates are unbiased, this mean squared error is the same as the variance of the linear combination.) The best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of the vector \beta of parameters \beta_j is one with the smallest mean squared error for every vector \lambda of linear combination parameters. This is equivalent to the condition that
:V(\tilde\beta)- V(\widehat\beta)
is a positive semi-definite matrix for every other linear unbiased estimator \tilde\beta.
The ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) is the function
:\widehat\beta=(X'X)^X'y
of y and X (where X' denotes the transpose of X )
that minimizes the sum of squares of residuals (misprediction amounts):
:\sum_^n\left(y_i-\widehat_i\right)^2=\sum_^n\left(y_i-\sum_^K\widehat\beta_j X_\right)^2.
The theorem now states that the OLS estimator is a BLUE. The main idea of the proof is that the least-squares estimator is uncorrelated with every linear unbiased estimator of zero, i.e., with every linear combination a_1y_1+\cdots+a_ny_n
whose coefficients do not depend upon the unobservable \beta but whose expected value is always zero.
