Examining these equations, we can see that the multivariate density coincides with the univariate density in the special case when 2is the scalar ˙. Again, the vector speci˙es the mean of the multivariate Gaussian distribution. The matrix

Tests for subsets of β are based on the corresponding marginal normal distributions. Example: In the case of normal errors with identity link we have W = I (where I denotes the identity matrix), φ = σ2, and the exact distribution
