## Ordinary least squares estimation for the multivariate model

## @end tex

## @w{@math{y = x*b + e}} with
## @math{mean (e) = 0} and @math{cov (vec (e)) = kron (s, I)}.
## @end ifnottex
##  where
## @tex
## $y$ is a $t \times p$ matrix, $x$ is a $t \times k$ matrix,
## $b$ is a $k \times p$ matrix, and $e$ is a $t \times p$ matrix.
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
## @math{y} is a @math{t} by @math{p} matrix, @math{x} is a @math{t} by
## @math{k} matrix, @math{b} is a @math{k} by @math{p} matrix, and
## @math{e} is a @math{t} by @math{p} matrix.
## @end ifnottex
##
## Each row of @var{y} and @var{x} is an observation and each column a
## variable.
##
## The return values @var{beta}, @var{sigma}, and @var{r} are defined as
## follows.
##
## @table @var
## @item beta
## The OLS estimator for @math{b}.
## @tex
## $beta$ is calculated directly via $(x^Tx)^{-1} x^T y$ if the matrix $x^Tx$ is
## of full rank.
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
## @var{beta} is calculated directly via @code{inv (x'*x) * x' * y} if the
## matrix @code{x'*x} is of full rank.
## @end ifnottex
## Otherwise, @code{@var{beta} = pinv (@var{x}) * @var{y}} where 
## @code{pinv (@var{x})} denotes the pseudoinverse of @var{x}.
##
## @item sigma
## The OLS estimator for the matrix @var{s},
##
## @example
## @group
## @var{sigma} = (@var{y}-@var{x}*@var{beta})'
##   * (@var{y}-@var{x}*@var{beta})
##   / (@var{t}-rank(@var{x}))
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @item r
## The matrix of OLS residuals, @code{@var{r} = @var{y} - @var{x}*@var{beta}}.
