Summary:
The aim of the paper is to estimate a function $\gamma=tr(D\beta\beta')+tr(C\sum)$ (with $d, C$ known matrices) in a regression model $(Y, X\beta,\sum)$ with an unknown parameter $\beta$ and covariance matrix $\sum$. Stochastically independent replications $Y_1,\ldots, Y_m$ of the stochastic vector $Y$ are considered, where the estimators of $X\beta$ and $\sum$ are $\bar{Y}=\frac 1 m \sum ^m _{i=1} Y_i$ and $\hat{\sum}=(m-1)^{-1} \sum^m_{i=1}(Y_i-\bar{Y})(Y_i-\bar{Y})'$, respectively. Locally and uniformly best inbiased estimators of the function $\gamma$, based on $\bar{Y}$ and $\hat{\sum}$, are given.
