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 کاملF. Variance Component Models
2. In the context of a balanced one-way random effect model where the εij’s are N = nk i.i.d. N(0, σ), εij − εi. and εi′. − ε.. are independent for all choices of i, j, and i′. Proof: It suffices to show that cov(εij − εi., εi′.− ε..) = 0 for all i, i′, and j due to normality. case 1 : i = i′. cov(εij − εi., εi. − ε..) = cov(εij, εi.) − cov(εij, ε..) − cov(εi., εi.) + cov(εi., ε..) = σ/n− σ/nk ...
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 کاملNetwork Structure and Biased Variance Estimation in Respondent Driven Sampling
This paper explores bias in the estimation of sampling variance in Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS). Prior methodological work on RDS has focused on its problematic assumptions and the biases and inefficiencies of its estimators of the population mean. Nonetheless, researchers have given only slight attention to the topic of estimating sampling variance in RDS, despite the importance of varianc...
