This theorem states that in a linear regression model where the errors have zero mean, are uncorrelated, and have constant variance (homoscedasticity), the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator is the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE). ‘Best’ means it has the minimum variance among all linear unbiased estimators of the regression coefficients, making it the most precise.

The Gauss-Markov theorem is a central result in the theory of linear regression that gives OLS its strong theoretical appeal. It guarantees that if a specific set of assumptions holds, no other linear and unbiased estimator will be more efficient than OLS. Let’s break down the BLUE 首字母缩略词. ‘Linear’ means the estimator for the coefficients is a linear combination of the observed dependent variable values. ‘Unbiased’ means that on average, the estimator will yield the true population parameter; its expected value is the true value, [latex]E(\hat{\beta}) = \beta[/latex]. ‘Best’ signifies that the OLS estimator has the minimum variance in its sampling distribution compared to any other linear unbiased estimator.

The core assumptions, known as the Gauss-Markov assumptions, are: 1. The model is linear in parameters. 2. The errors have a conditional mean of zero ([latex]E(\varepsilon | X) = 0[/latex]). 3. The independent variables are not perfectly collinear. 4. The errors are homoscedastic (have constant variance, [latex]Var(\varepsilon | X) = \sigma^2[/latex]) and are not autocorrelated ([latex]Cov(\varepsilon_i, \varepsilon_j | X) = 0[/latex] for [latex]i \neq j[/latex]).

关键在于,该定理并不要求误差服从正态分布。正态性假设是在需要对系数进行精确的有限样本假设检验(例如t检验和F检验)时才添加的。当高斯-马尔可夫假设不成立时(例如,存在异方差性或自相关),普通最小二乘法(OLS)不再是最佳最优无偏估计(BLUE),而广义最小二乘法(GLS)等替代估计方法可能更有效。
