Estimating a mean
Consider the linear model $$y=Xb+e$$ where $$y$$ is a vector of $$n$$ observations, $$X$$ is as single column matrix of $$1$$, $$e$$ is the residual and $$y\sim N(Xb,R)$$ where $$R$$ is a $$n \times n$$ co-variance matrix. The generalized least square solution for $$b$$ would be obtained from $$b=(X'R^{-1}X)^{-1}X'R^{-1}y$$. Note that in simple cases $$R=I\sigma_e^2$$, where $$I$$ is an $$n \times n$$ identity matrix, and estimating $$b$$ simplifies to $$b=(X'X)^{-1}X'y$$, which is equivalent to $$b=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n y_i}{n}$$.
