$Y_i$ are independent random variables following a normal law of mean $m_i = Ax_i + B$ and variance $V.$
Let's take a sample $y_i \sim Y_i.$
I determine $a$ and $b,$ the weigthed least squares coefficients with weights $w_i$ of sum $1.$ I am interested in an unbiased estimator of variance $V.$
$$\sum w_i (y_i - a x_i - b)^2$$
is obviously biased but I don't manage to get anywhere close to a simple expression for an unbiased eatimate (In the case of the constant fit, it's fairly easier,see unbiased estimate of the variance of a weighted mean.)
Any ideas or references?
EDIT: for the unweighted regression, it's quite standard and a factor $n / (n - 2)$ is applied. But it won't work with weights (hint: take $w_1 = 0.$)
