We propose a scaled linear mixed model to assess the effects of exposure and other covariates on multiple continuous outcomes. The most general form of the model allows a different exposure effect for each outcome. An important special case is a model that represents the exposure effects using a...

The paper derives the asymptotic variance bound for instrumental variables (IV) estimators, and extends the Gauss-Markov theorem for the regressions with correlated regressors and regression errors. For some special class of models, the usual IV estimator attains the lower bound and becomes the...

In this paper, functional models with not replications are investigated within the class of the elliptical distributions. Emphasis is placed on the special case of the Student-t distribution. Main results encompasses consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimators. Due...
