Abstract
We consider a linear multivariate errors-in-variables model AX ≈ B, where the matrices A and B are observed with errors and the matrix parameter X is to be estimated. In the case of lack of information about the error covariance structure, we propose an estimator that converges in probability to X as the number of rows in A tends to infinity. Sufficient conditions for this convergence and for the asymptotic normality of the estimator are found.
