Bayesian estimators in uncertain nested error regression models
Nested error regression models are useful tools for analysis of grouped data, especially in the case of small area estimation. This paper suggests a nested error regression model using uncertain random effects in which the random effect in each area is expressed as a mixture of a normal distribution and a positive mass at $0$.

On non-negative estimation of variance components in mixed linear models
Alternative estimators have been derived for estimating the variance components according to Iterative Almost Unbiased Estimation (IAUE). As a result two modified IAUEs are introduced.

GNAQPMS-Hg v1.0, a global nested atmospheric mercury transport model: model description, evaluation and application to trans-boundary transport of Chinese anthropogenic emissions [PDF]
Atmospheric mercury (Hg) is a toxic pollutant and can be transported over the whole globe due to its long lifetime in the atmosphere. For the purpose of assessing Hg hemispheric transport and better characterizing regional Hg pollution, a global nested ...

On testing random effects in the nested-error regression model
We derive an exact F-test for random effects in the nested-error regression model. The derivation utilizes a matrix decomposition that offers a transformation of the response vector into two indepe...

Bayesian system identification for structures considering spatial and temporal correlation
The decreasing cost and improved sensor and monitoring system technology (e.g., fiber optics and strain gauges) have led to more measurements in close proximity to each other.

Partitioning Error Spaces in Linear Models (Error Contrasts) [PDF]
This paper introduces the general idea of error contrasts, their properties, and uses. Error contrasts is a way for partitioning the error space and depend on it's canonical representation, that is the vector space of linear unbiased estimators of zero ...

UNBALANCED NESTED COMPONENT ERROR MODEL FOR ESTIMATING PEST DAMAGE FUNCTIONS [PDF]
A recently developed nested error component model for unbalanced panel data is used to estimate insect damage functions. The model estimates the separate random effects for location and year on the variability of yield loss and has smaller standard ...
