Optimal Designs For the Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimators in a Random Split-Plot Model
The design effect for the restricted maximum likelihood estimators of variance components in acompletely randomized split-plot model is studied. The model was used to represent the response generated froman experimental scenario where the whole-plot and

Performance of the No-U-Turn sampler in multi-trait variance component estimation using genomic data
Background Multi-trait genetic parameter estimation is an important topic for target traits with few records and with a low heritability and when the genetic correlation between target and secondary traits is strong.

The structural modeling of spatial dependence, using a geostatistical approach, is an indispensable tool to determine parameters that define this structure, applied on interpolation of values at unsampled points by kriging techniques.

Likelihood inference for small variance components
In this paper, we develop likelihood-based methods for making inferences about the components of variance in a general normal mixed linear model. In particular, we use local asymptotic approximations to construct confidence intervals for the components ...

Evaluation of models for estimation of genetic parameters for post-weaning body measurements and their association with yearling weight in Nellore sheep [PDF]
Objective The objective of this study was to obtain (co) variance components and genetic parameter estimates for post-weaning body measurements such as body length (BL), height at withers (HW), and chest girth (HG) recorded at six (SBL, SHW, and SHG ...

ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Variance Components for Univariate Animal Models Using Sparse Matrix Techniques and Average Information [PDF]
An algorithm is described to estimate variance components for a univariate animal model using REML. Sparse matrix techniques are employed to calculate those elements of the inverse of the coefficient matrix required for the first derivatives of the ...

Approximate maximum likelihood estimation of two closely spaced sources [PDF]
The performance of the majority of high resolution algorithms designed for either spectral analysis or Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation drastically degrade when the amplitude sources are highly correlated or when the number of available snapshots is

ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.
