On the inefficiency of the restricted maximum likelihood
The restricted maximum likelihood is preferred by many to the full maximum likelihood for estimation with variance component and other random coefficient models, because the variance estimator is unbiased. It is shown that this unbiasedness is accompanied in some balanced designs by an inflation of the mean squared error. An estimator of the cluster-level variance that is uniformly more efficie...
متن کاملEstimation of Variance Components for Body Weight of Moghani Sheep Using B-Spline Random Regression Models
The aim of the present study was the estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for body weight of Moghani sheep, using random regression models based on B-Splines functions. The data set included 9165 body weight records from 60 to 360 days of age from 2811 Moghani sheep, collected between 1994 to 2013 from Jafar-Abad Animal Research and Breeding Institute, Ardabil province,...
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...
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 کاملRandom Coefficient Models for Time-Series–Cross-Section Data: Monte Carlo Experiments of Finite Sample Properties∗
This article considers random coefficient models (RCMs) for time-series–crosssection data. These models allow for unit to unit variation in the model parameters. The heart of the paper compares the finite sample properties of the fully pooled estimator, the unit by unit (unpooled) estimator and the (maximum likelihood) RCM estimator. The maximum likelihood estimator RCM performs well, even wher...
