Consider the linear model
Yi=β0+β1xi1+β2xi2+εi
for i=1,2,…,n, where the εi are independent and identically distributed with N(0,σ2) distribution. What does it mean for the pair β1 and β2 to be orthogonal? What does it mean for all the three parameters β0,β1 and β2 to be mutually orthogonal? Give necessary and sufficient conditions on (xi1)i=1n,(xi2)i=1n so that β0,β1 and β2 are mutually orthogonal. If β0,β1,β2 are mutually orthogonal, find the joint distribution of the corresponding maximum likelihood estimators β^0,β^1 and β^2.
