To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The residual covariance matrix, S, with typical element s. . , is thus treated in what follows as having been generated by observations from a multivariate normal distribution with covariance matrix l and zero mean vector. Under this assumption, the (N - l)x(N - 1) matrix S has the Wishart distribution, and the log-likelihood function is the following: (4) L = C - (T/2)lnlZl + [ (T - N)/2]lnlSl - (T/2)tr( E"^S), where C is a constant and T is the number of observations. (See, for instance, Rao ...(1973, p. 398). Rao uses S to denote the dispersion matrix, which equals T times the sample covariance matrix. ) Given S, the unrestricted maximum of L is obtained by setting Z = S, and the maximum value is (5) L = C - (N/2)lnlSI - T(N - l)/2. In order to maximize L subject to the restrictions given by (3) with z = 0, we make use of the fact that the following are valid if those restrictions - 8 - hold (Rao 1973, pp. 32-3): N-1 (6a) l[l = ( n v. )(l + V D), whert i = l N-1 (6b) D = E (1/v. ); and i = l (6c) [I ^].
