Arising from an omitted term in a calculation in the Appendix, variance formulae in the paper should be adjusted. In particular, the constants in the numerators of equations (2·4) and (2·15) should be 6 rather than 18. Variances are, however, still higher than in the case of least-squares estimators. The changes are implied by the following corrections to the Appendix. On p. 423, 2c
'cos(
(k)) should be included within braces on lines 11 and 17, and 2c
'sin(
(k)) should be added within braces on lines 12 and 18, leading to the extra term 2cm3/2{
'sin(
(k))
sin(k) +
'cos(
(k))
cos(k)} on line 21. We are grateful to Barry Quinn for drawing our attention to this error.
