Testing multiple variance components in linear mixed-effects models.
Testing zero variance components is one of the most challenging problems in the context of linear mixed-effects (LME) models. The usual asymptotic chi-square distribution of the likelihood ratio and score statistics under this null hypothesis is incorrect because the null is on the boundary of the parameter space. During the last two decades many tests have been proposed to overcome this diffic...
متن کاملOn testing an unspecified function through a linear mixed effects model with multiple variance components.
We examine a generalized F-test of a nonparametric function through penalized splines and a linear mixed effects model representation. With a mixed effects model representation of penalized splines, we imbed the test of an unspecified function into a test of some fixed effects and a variance component in a linear mixed effects model with nuisance variance components under the null. The procedur...
متن کاملVariance components testing in the longitudinal mixed effects model.
This article discusses the asymptotic behavior of likelihood ratio tests for nonzero variance components in the longitudinal mixed effects linear model described by Laird and Ware (1982, Biometrics 38, 963-974). Our discussion of the large-sample behavior of likelihood ratio tests for nonzero variance components is based on the results for nonstandard testing situations by Self and Liang (1987,...
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 کاملU-tests for variance components in linear mixed models
We propose U -statistics-based tests for null variance components in linear mixed models. We obtain their asymptotic distribution (for increasing number of units) under mild regularity conditions that include only the existence of the second moment for the distribution of the random effects and of the fourth moment for the distribution of the conditional errors. We also derive their nonnull dis...
