Leave‐Out Estimation of Variance Components
We propose leave-out estimators of quadratic forms designed for the study of linear models with unrestricted heteroscedasticity. Applications include analysis of variance and tests of linear restrictions in models with many regressors.

A variance-components analysis for the longitude-network adjustment [PDF]
The problem of weights in the task of longitude-network adjustment has not been solved yet because the structure of the observational variances is unknown.

The genetic basis of inheritance of plant height in maize [PDF]
The aim of this study, on the grounds of direct and reciprocal diallel crossing of five inbred lines of maize, was to determine: variability, heterosis, combining ability and genetic basis of plant height inheritance. The experiment was based on

Genetic Variability of Show Jumping Attributes in Young Horses Commencing Competing [PDF]
The aim of the study was to select traits that may constitute a prospective criterion for breeding value prediction of young horses. The results of 1,232 starts of 894 four-, five-, six-, and seven-year-old horses, obtained during jumping championships ...

Variance components estimation for farrowing traits of three purebred pigs in Korea [PDF]
Objective This study was conducted to estimate breed-specific variance components for total number born (TNB), number born alive (NBA) and mortality rate from birth through weaning including stillbirths (MORT) of three main swine breeds in Korea.

Flexible results for quadratic forms with applications to variance components estimation [PDF]
We derive convenient uniform concentration bounds and finite sample multivariate normal approximation results for quadratic forms, then describe some applications involving variance components estimation in linear random-effects models.

Impact of variance components on reliability of absolute quantification using digital PCR [PDF]
Background: Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) is an increasingly popular technology for detecting and quantifying target nucleic acids. Its advertised strength is high precision absolute quantification without needing reference curves.
