Variance Estimation for Tree Order Restricted Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we discuss estimation of the common variance of several normal populations with tree order restricted means. We discuss the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator of the variance as the number of populations tends to infinity. We consider several cases of various orders of the sample sizes and show that the maximum likelihood estimator of the variance may or may not be consistent or be asymptotically normal.

Today, the use of allometric relations for easy, non-destructive, low cost and fast estimation of tree biomass is widely used. The aim of this study was to estimate the stem biomass of Pupulus. caspica and Pupulus. alba 57.58 seedlings. First, 45 cuttings from both fast-growing tree species were selected and planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the lands of C...
متن کاملUse of Restricted Maximum Likelihood Approach for Estimation of Genotypic Correlation and Heritability in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Under Water Deficit Stress
Wheat is mostly cultivated at rainfed condition in Iran, so, water deficit stress has much effect on yield reduction. Hence, breeding activities are necessary for introduction of wheat tolerant genotypes to water deficit stress. In order to estimate the heritability and genetic correlation between traits of 36 wheat genotypes, an experiment was conducted in two separate conditions (water stress...

A debutanizer column is an integral part of any petroleum refinery. Online composition monitoring of debutanizer column outlet streams is highly desirable in order to maximize the production of liquefied petroleum gas. In this article, data-driven models for debutanizer column are developed for real-time composition monitoring. The dataset used has seven process variables as inputs and the outp...
متن کاملExploring the Use of Random Regression Models withLegendre Polynomials to Analyze Clutch Sizein Iranian Native Fowl
Random regression models (RRM) have become common for the analysis of longitudinal data or repeated records on individual over time. The goal of this paper was to explore the use of random regression models with orthogonal / Legendre polynomials (RRL) to analyze new repeated measures called clutch size (CS) as a meristic trait for Iranian native fowl. Legendre polynomial functions of increasing...
