Notes

linregm_constrain computes the estimates given a set of linear constraints for a general linear regression model which is not of full rank. It is intended for use after a call to linregm_fit() or linregm_update().

In the case of a model not of full rank the functions use a singular value decomposition (SVD) to find the parameter estimates, , and their variance-covariance matrix. Details of the SVD are made available in the form of the matrix :

as described by linregm_fit() and linregm_update().

Alternative solutions can be formed by imposing constraints on the parameters. If there are parameters and the rank of the model is , then constraints will have to be imposed to obtain a unique solution.

Let be a matrix of constraints, such that

then the new parameter estimates are given by

where is the identity matrix, and the variance-covariance matrix is given by

provided exists.
