Best Linear Unbiased Prediction in the Generalized Linear Regression Model

Abstract When interdependence of disturbances is present in a regression model, the pattern of sample residuals contains information which is useful in prediction of post-sample drawings. This information, which is often overlooked, is exploited in the best linear unbiased predictor derived here. The gain in efficiency associated with using this predictor instead of the usual expected value estimator may be substantial.
