REML Variance-Component Estimation
In the numerous forms of analysis of variance (ANOVA) discussed in previous chapters, variance components were estimated by equating observed mean squares to expressions describing their expected values, these being functions of the variance components. ANOVA has the nice feature that the estimators for the variance components are unbiased regardless of whether the data are normally distributed...
متن کاملLeast-squares variance component estimation
Least-squares variance component estimation (LS-VCE) is a simple, flexible and attractive method for the estimation of unknown variance and covariance components. LS-VCE is simple because it is based on the well-known principle of LS; it is flexible because it works with a userdefined weight matrix; and it is attractive because it allows one to directly apply the existing body of knowledge of L...
متن کاملVARIANCE COMPONENT REGULARIZATION FOR THE INFERENCE OF NEUTRAL EVOLUTION By
We represent the Brownian model for continuous traits with phylogenetic dependence as a variance components model, allowing for the novel estimation of edge weights for every branch of a tree graph. We show that maximum likelihood estimation carries an inherent bias often shrinking internal edges to zero, which is troublesome because this estimate is intended to compare covariance structures as...
متن کاملRetrieving Three Dimensional Displacements of InSAR Through Regularized Least Squares Variance Component Estimation
Measuring the 3D displacement fields provide essential information regarding the Earth crust interaction and the mantle rheology. The interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has an appropriate capability in revealing the displacements of the Earth’s crust. Although, it measures the real 3D displacements in the line of sight (LOS) direction. The 3D displacement vectors can be retrieved ...
متن کاملLeast-Squares Variance Component Estimation: Theory and GPS Applications
Data processing in geodetic applications often relies on the least-squares method, for which one needs a proper stochastic model of the observables. Such a realistic covariance matrix allows one first to obtain the best (minimum variance) linear unbiased estimator of the unknown parameters; second, to determine a realistic precision description of the unknowns; and, third, along with the distri...
