Hi ElMaestro!


❝ Gurka requires me to derive Xi, the design matrix for fixed effects of subject i.

❝ They mention that "Xi is a (ni × p) known, constant design matrix for the i' th subject

❝ with rank p"


I think it means rank of whole X, because after: "and β is a (p × 1) vector of unknown, constant population parameters". Xi is a part of X and have same count of columns, rank Xi can be lower. Here is no contradictions I think. If look at Xiuming Zhang, 2015* p is just length of β and rank should be the same. If not, we will have rank-deficient matrix.

And if look generally - it really doesn't matter because -(N-p)*log(2π)/2 is a constant and it can be excluded from optimization. If you want find AIC ets - this will matter.

And as I know some softaware using different N for calculation (some use all observations, some only statistically independent (m)), and some include second constant part: logdet(Σim(X'X))/2

So if you want find only θ, you can minimize REML without constants at all. And add constants when you need to have real value of REML or AIC, BIC, ets.
