A link function approach to heterogeneous variance components

An Approach to Combine Heterogeneous Specification Components

In this report, we advocate an approach to combine formal specification components. Our work aims at building or reusing specification components, and compose them with a gluing language constituted of a minimal but sufficient set of operators. The glue allows to have at one’s disposal a global formal specification with heterogeneous components as basic entities. The interests are manifold: mod...

I A GENERAL APPROACH ro THE ESTIMATION OF VARIANCE COMPONENTS

A general method of estimation of variance components in random-effects models of the nested and/or classification type is considered. If a given parameter is estimable with respect to some particular experimental design (i.e., an unbiased estimate of the parameter may be obtained from the experiment), then the suggested estimator may be readily computed with only the aid of a desk calculator. ...

Using an architectural approach to integrate heterogeneous, distributed software components

Many computer programs cannot be easily integrated because their components arc distributed and heterogeneous, i.e.. they are implemented in diverse programming languages, use different data representation formats, or their runtime environments are incompatible. In many cases, programs are integrated by modifying their components or interposing mechanisms that handle communication and conversio...
