"Kylie would score amazingly well on

The highlights of Part are Chapters 8 and 9, which clearly explain the
sphericality restriction, the relationship between design (X) and precision (X'X) matrices, restricted least squares, and the Gauss Markov Theorem.
If the
sphericality assumption is correct but the probability distribution, while symmetric and unimodal, is not normal, then the Gauss-Markov properties still hold; moreover, the hypothesis tests, although not strictly valid, are likely to be robust and should not produce seriously misleading results [e.g., Malinvaud, 1966, p.
In presenting my six-point summary of the civil rights legacy, the principle of
