In linear models, the generalized least squares (GLS) estimator is applicable when the structure of the error dependence is known. When it is unknown, such structure must be approximated and estimated in a manner that may lead to…

A multivariable measurement error model $AX \approx B$ is considered. Here $A$ and $B$ are input and output matrices of measurements and $X$ is a rectangular matrix of fixed size to be estimated. The errors in $[A,B]$ are row-wise…
We consider a multivariate functional measurement error model $AX\approx B$. The errors in $[A,B]$ are uncorrelated, row-wise independent, and have equal (unknown) variances. We study the total least squares estimator of $X$, which, in the…
The a posteriori error estimator using the least-squares functional can be used for adaptive mesh refinement and error control even if the numerical approximations are not obtained from the corresponding least-squares method. This suggests…
