AbstractWe derive and discuss a matricial Cramér-Rao type inequality for the quadratic prediction error matrix. A study of the attainment of the bound follows. Then we introduce an unbiased predictor for a bivariate Poisson process and prove that it is efficient, i.e. its quadratic error attains the Cramér-Rao bound.
