 Gauss-Markov theorem - Wikipédia
Dina statistik, the Gauss-Markov theorem, named after Carl Friedrich Gauss and Andrey Markov, states that in a linear model in which the errors have expectation zero and are uncorrelated and have equal variances, the best linear unbiased estimators of the coefficients are the least-squares estimators.
In terms of the matrix algebra formulation, the Gauss-Markov theorem shows that the difference between the parameter covariance matrix of an arbirary linear unbiased estimator and OLS is positive semi definite (see also proof in external link).

The Gauss-Markov Theorem proves that the ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) it BLUE (Best Linear Unbiased Estimator).
Markov processes are used extensively in time series econometrics, since there are laws of large numbers and central limit theorems that apply to very general classes of Markov processes that satisfy a ``geometric ergodicity'' condition.
Describe some examples of how Markov processes are used in econometrics such as providing models of serially dependent data, as a framework for establishing convergence of estimators and proving laws of large numbers, central limit theorems, etc. and as computational tool for doing simulations.

 Gauss-Markov
A major point of the latter theorem is that one does not assume the probability distributions are Gaussian.
The second sense of "Gauss-Markov" is far more widely known than the first because it is well-known to all statisticians, and generally not known to probabilists, whereas the first is known only to probabilists and some statisticians.

 distributions
Gauss came up with many characterizations of normality, and did use it to improve fits to orbits of objects within the solar system.
This is a special case of the Central Limit Theorem, which states that, under certain conditions, the sum of a large number of random variables is APPROXIMATELY normal.

The Gauss-Markov Theorem is a crowning achievement in statistics.
The Gauss Markov Theorem also works in reverse: when the data generating process does not follow the Standard Econometric Model, OLS is typically no longer the preferred estimator.
This theorem explains the preeminence of the OLS estimator in econometrics.

Gauss had only a passing interest in 'his' distribution for his second theory of least squares, which produced the Gauss-Markov theorem, avoided any use of it.
Gauss contributed to many branches of mathematics and there are eponymous terms in the theory of numbers, differential geometry, the theory of errors and numerical analysis.
Gauss is also present on the Symbol pages, including Earliest Uses of Symbols of Number Theory and Earliest Uses of Symbols in Probability and Statistics.

The Gauss-Markov Theorem provides a framework for a least-squares fit of the wind field to the data that takes into account sensor error and error correlations due to the nonuniform data distribution.
Stoica et al., Vaidyanathan and Buckley, and Hawkes and Nehorai have exploited Taylor's theorem and complex gradient methods to provide accurate prediction of the MSE performance of these signal parameter estimates that is valid (i) above the estimation threshold signal-to-noise ratio and (ii) provided a sufficient number of training samples is available for covariance estimation.
The goal of this present analysis is to extend these results to the case in which the sample covariance matrix is diagonally loaded, as is often done in practice for regularization, stabilizing matrix inversion, and white noise gain control.

However, the proof of the Gauss Markov theorem indicates that the weights produced by the OLS estimator--not the formula per se--produce the unique minimum-variance estimator.
When stating the Gauss-Markov theorem, undergraduate econometric textbooks generally imply that the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator has minimum variance.

Central Limit Theorem: If the first 5 Gauss-markov assumptions hold, and the sample size T is sufficiently large (> 50 obs), then the OLS estimators have a distribution that approximates the normal (with greater accuracy the larger the value of the sample size T).
If assumption 6 does not hold: Apply the Central Limit Theorem.
It is used when it cannot be proven that an estimator is BLUE.

Solution: This is ok as well because in order for the Gauss Markov theorem to hold we need certain assumptions on the Data Generaing Process to be true.
Solution: It is ok for there to be a biased estimator that is more efficient than the OLS estimator as the Gauss-Markov Theorem only states that OLS is best whjen compared to other unibiased estimators.
So NONE of these statements contradict the Gauss-Markov Theorem.
