Variance Components Estimation in Generalized Orthogonal Models
The model y = ∑w j=1 Xjβj + e is generalized orthogonal if the orthogonal projection matrices on the range spaces of matrices Xj , j = 1, ..., w, commute. Unbiased estimators are obtained for the variance components of such models with cross-nesting.
متن کاملEstimation of Variance Components for Body Weight of Moghani Sheep Using B-Spline Random Regression Models
The aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of Moghani sheep, using random regression models based on B-Splines functions. The data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 Moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from Jafar-Abad Animal Research and Breeding Institute, Ardabil province,...
متن کاملAn Estimation of Variance Components in Linear Mixed Model
In this paper, a linear mixed model which has two random effects is broken up into two models. This thesis gets the parameter estimation of the original model and an estimation’s statistical qualities based on these two models. Then many important properties are given by comparing this estimation with other general estimations. At the same time, this paper proves the analysis of variance estima...

متن کاملOn Mathematical Characteristics of some Improved Estimators of the Mean and Variance Components in Elliptically Contoured Models
In this paper we treat a general form of location model. It is typically assumed that the error term is distributed according to the law belonging to the class of elliptically contoured distribution. Some sorts of shrinkage estimators of location and scale parameters are proposed and their exact bias and MSE expressions are derived. The performance of the estimators under study are compl...
