Abstract
Consider the standard linear model Y=X θ + ε. If the parameter of interest is a full rank subsystem K′θ of mean parameters, the associated information matrix can be defined via an extremal representation. For rank deficient subsystems, Pukelsheim (1993) introduced the notion of generalized information matrices that inherit many properties of the information matrices. However, this notion is not a direct extension of the full rank case in the sense that the definition of the generalized information matrix applied to full rank subsystems does not lead to the usual information matrix. In this paper, we propose a definition of the information matrix via an extremal representation that encompasses the full rank and the non-full rank cases. We also study its properties and show its links with the generalized information matrices.
