Abstract :A linear mixed model insert ignore into journalissuearticles values($\LMM$); $\M :\yy = \mxX\BETA + \mxZ\uu + \EPS $ with general assumptions and its transformed model $\T:\mxT\yy = \mxT\mxX\BETA + \mxT\mxZ\uu + \mxT\EPS $ are considered. This work concerns the comparison problem of predictors under $\M$ and $\T$. Our aim is to establish equality relations between the best linear unbiased predictors insert ignore into journalissuearticles values($\BLUP$s); of unknown vectors under two $\LMM$s $\M$ and $\T$ through their covariance matrices by using various rank formulas of block matrices and elementary matrix operations.
Keywords : BLUP, covariance matrix, linear mixed model, rank, transformed model
