Constrained Least Squares. Suppose we wish to find the least squares estimator of a in the model

Question:

Constrained Least Squares. Suppose we wish to find the least squares estimator of a in the model y = Xβ + ε subject to a set of equality constraints, say, Tβ = c.

(a) Show that the estimator is

B. - B +(XX)

where β̂ = (X' X)ˆ’1 X'y.

(b) Discuss situations where this model might be appropriate.
