Within a general class of linear design-unbiased estimators of a linear function of means from successive occasions in sampling in time, it is shown that under a general one-cycle rotation design, a weighted average of the rotation group means or elementary estimates is the optimal estimator. The determination of the weights depends upon the underlying correlation structure. The correlation structure studied here allows a correlation between different sampling units.
