Estimation of a saeta as a linear modelThe available data , denoted by Y, can be expressed as a function of known quantities, in the matrix X, unknow parameters, which determine the saeta, and some errors. It can be written in matrix form as a linear model:

εβ += XY

1. Once a saeta is estimated under the reference (XYZ),

which is the corresponding saeta under the reference (X’Y’Z’)?

2. Once the saeta is estimated,

which is the new saeta under the restriction that it should go through the origin

(X=0, Y=0, Z=0)?

which is the corresponding saeta under the reference (X’Y’Z’)?

Proposal: Obtain confidence regions for saeta’s

2. Once the saeta is estimated,

which is the new saeta under the restriction that it should go through the origin

(X=0, Y=0, Z=0)?

A linear model can be estimated under a linear restriction

cAH =β:0(assumption that it goes through the origin)

which is the best saeta S that is based on the information coming from the two data sets?
