Summary

In this paper we continue the study of the extension of the Gauss-Markov theorem to certain general kinds of multiresponse models. In particular we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions, for the general incomplete multiresponse (GIM) model and the multiple design multi-response (MDM) model, such that unique best linear unbiased estimates (BLUE's) exist for all elements in a subset of the set of all estimable linear functions of the location parameters. Also the theory is illustrated by a couple of nontrivial examples.
