Estimators and Tests for Variance Components in Cross Nested Orthogonal Designs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Explicit expressions of UMVUE for variance components are obtained for a class of models that include balanced cross nested random models. These estimators are used to derive tests for the nullity of variance components. Besides the usual F tests, generalized F tests will be introduced. The separation between both types of tests will be based on a general theorem that holds even for mixed models. It is shown how to estimate the p-value of generalized F tests.

Variance Components Estimation in a K-way Nested Random Effect Models
This work aims to presented the k way nested random models (designs) and discuss the estimators for the variance components in this kind of models presented by Henderson (1953), proposing condition concern their existence, as well as its two proposed modifications presented by Khattree (1999). At the first proposal, where he choose to sacrifice the unbiasedness of the Henderson's one to preserv...
متن کاملA Class of Experimental Designs for Estimating a Response Surface and Variance Components
This article introduces a new class of experimental designs, called split factorials, which allow for the estimation of both response surface effects (fixed effects of crossed factors) and variance components arising from nested random effects. With an economical run size, split factorials provide flexibility in dividing the degrees of freedom among the different estimations. For a split factor...
متن کاملVariance 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 کاملComparison of Designs for the Three-Fold Nested Random Model
The quality of estimation of variance components depends on the design used as well as on the unknown values of the variance components. In this article, three designs are compared, namely, the balanced, staggered, and inverted nested designs for the three-fold nested random model. The comparison is based on the so-called quantile dispersion graphs, introduced in Khuri (1997), using analysis of...
متن کاملAn Encompassing Approach to Conditional Mean Tests with Applications to Testing Nonnested Hypotheses
A general class of tests designed to detect conditional mean misspecification for cross section or time series applications is proposed. The tests are derived from a particular application of the encompassing principle. The resulting conditional mean encompassing (CME) tests contain as special cases a version of the Lagrange Multiplier test for nested models, a new test in the presence of nonne...
