Running head : REML USING DERIVATIVES Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Animal Models Using Derivatives of the Likelihood
Restricted Maximum Likelihood estimation using first and second derivatives of the likelihood is described. It relies on the calculation of derivatives without the need for large matrix inversion using an automatic differentiation procedure. In essence, this is an extension of the Cholesky factorisation of a matrix. A reparameterisation is used to transform the constrained optimisation problem ...
متن کاملA comparison of algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of Spatial GLM models
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two n...
متن کاملDerivative-intense Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Covariance Components for Animal Models
INTRODUCTION Estimation of covariance components by Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) fitting an animal model is widely carried out using a derivative-free (DF) algorithm to locate the maximum of the likelihood function. While such algorithms have proven robust and easy to use, they are generally slow to converge, often requiring many likelihood evaluations, in particular for multivariate an...
متن کاملEstimation of Genotypic Correlation and Heritability of some of Traits in Faba Bean Genotypes Using Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML)
In order to estimation genotypic correlation and heritability of some faba bean traits, 26 faba bean genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2014-16 growing seasons in Agricultural Research Sation of Borujerd located in Lorestan province, Iran. The restricted maximum likelihood (REML) was used to estimate the genotypic and phenotypic correla...
متن کاملDerivative-free restricted maximum likelihood estimation in animal models with a sparse matrix solver.
Estimation of (co)variance components by derivative-free REML requires repeated evaluation of the log-likelihood function of the data. Gaussian elimination of the augmented mixed model coefficient matrix is often used to evaluate the likelihood function, but it can be costly for animal models with large coefficient matrices. This study investigated the use of a direct sparse matrix solver to ob...
