Abstract
A new criterion for determining the estimability of linear combinations of the parameters of a linear model is established. The result consists of evaluating the trace of a matrix and thus only one number must be checked to determine estimability. The sums of squares necessary to test hypotheses about estimable linear combinations are also derived. Finally, a stepwise computational procedure to compute generalized inverses and matrix products involving generalized inverses is presented. Using the theory and computational techniques, a computer program can be developed to provide a complete analysis of the linear model using generalized inverses.
