Abstract
A linear statistic Fy, where F is an f × n matrix, is called linearly sufficient for estimable parametric function K β under the model \({\mathcal {M}} = \{ \mathbf {y}, \mathbf {X}{\boldsymbol {\beta }}, \mathbf {V} \}\), if there exists a matrix A such that AFy is the \( \operatorname {\mathrm {BLUE}}\) for K β. In this paper we consider some particular aspects of the linear sufficiency in the partitioned linear model where X = (X 1 : X 2) with β being partitioned accordingly. We provide new results and new insightful proofs for some known facts, using the properties of relevant covariance matrices and their expressions via certain orthogonal projectors. Particular attention will be paid to the situation under which adding new regressors (in X 2) does not affect the linear sufficiency of Fy.
