Methods for comparing designs for a random (or mixed) linear model have focused primarily on criteria based on single-valued functions. In general, these functions are difficult to use, because of their complex forms, in addition to their dependence on the model's unknown variance components. In this paper, a graphical approach is presented for comparing designs for random models. The one-way model is used for illustration. The proposed approach is based on using quantiles of an estimator of a function of the variance components. The dependence of these quantiles on the true values of the variance components is depicted by plotting the so-called quantile dispersion graphs (QDGs), which provide a comprehensive picture of the quality of estimation obtained with a given design. The QDGs can therefore be used to compare several candidate designs. Two methods of estimation of variance components are considered, namely analysis of variance and maximum-likelihood estimation.  相似文献

This paper concerns a method of estimation of variance components in a random effect linear model. It is mainly a resampling method and relies on the Jackknife principle. The derived estimators are presented as least squares estimators in an appropriate linear model, and one of them appears as a MINQUE (Minimum Norm Quadratic Unbiased Estimation) estimator. Our resampling method is illustrated by an example given by C. R. Rao [7] and some optimal properties of our estimator are derived for this example. In the last part, this method is used to derive an estimation of variance components in a random effect linear model when one of the components is assumed to be known.  相似文献

Abstract.  The large deviation modified likelihood ratio statistic is studied for testing a variance component equal to a specified value. Formulas are presented in the general balanced case, whereas in the unbalanced case only the one-way random effects model is studied. Simulation studies are presented, showing that the normal approximation to the large deviation modified likelihood ratio statistic gives confidence intervals for variance components with coverage probabilities very close to the nominal confidence coefficient.  相似文献

Exact methods for testing equality between variance components obtained from several cases of the same type of balanced orthogonal design are discussed. In particular, methods for successively testing equality of a number of components using Bartlett's tests are outlined for univariate and multivariate responses. Two clinical trial examples of repeated‐measures data are presented.  相似文献

The present study deals with three different invarint quadratic unbiased estimators (IQUE) for variance components namely quadratic least squares estimators (QLSE), weighted quadratic least squares estimators (WQLSE) and Mitra type estimators (MTE). The variance and covariances of these three different estimators are presented for unbalanced one-way random model. The relative performances of these estimators are assessed based on different optimality criteria like, D-optimality, T-optimality and M-optimality together with variances of these estimators. As a result, it has been shown that MTE has optimal properties.  相似文献

Multiple regression when regressors are measured on two different sized experimental units involves a nested error structure. This nested error structure consists of two variance components. Sufficient conditions are presented under which UMVU estimators of these variance components exist. When these conditions are not met, two alternative estimators for the two variance components are considered and compared when possible.

This paper considers multiple regression models when regressor variables are associated with different sized experimental units resulting in a nested error structure. Nested error structures occur because of restrictions placed on randomizations. This results in experiments similar to splitplot type experiments which involove two different sizes of experimental units. Data resulting from these type of experiments consists of measurements made on larger sized experimental units as well as measurements made on smaller sized experimental units. Split-plot type experiments occur when certain combinations of the treatment factors are randomly assigned to larger sized experimental units after which these units are split or divided and other combinations of the treatment factors are randomly assigned to the split units.  相似文献

This article reports the results of a variance components investigation of the reliability of a new scale of measurement of the quality of a dwelling unit. A balanced incomplete block design was utilized. A method for selecting among competing unbiased estimators of the variance components is presented. These components furnish a measure of the stability of the new dwelling quality scale. The validity of this new scale was investigated by comparison with experienced housing inspectors' reports.  相似文献

Several estimators for the variance components of the above model are derived. Biases and mean square errors of the estimators for small samples are examined. Results on the skewness and kurtosis coefficients and the large sample biases and mean square errors of these estimators are presented in detail.  相似文献

Estimation of the variance components and the mean of the balanced and unbalanced threefold nested design is considered. The relative merits of the following procedures are evaluated: Analysis of variance (ANOVA), maximum likelihood (ML), restricted maximum likelihood (REML), and minimum variance quadratic unbiased estimator (MIVQUE). A new procedure called the weighted analysis of means (WAM) estimator which utilizes prior information on the variance components is proposed. It is found to have optimum properties similar to the REML and MIVQUE, and it is also computationally simpler. For the mean, the overall sample average, grand mean, unweighted mean, and generalized least-squares (GLS) estimator with its weights obtained from the above estimators for the variance components are considered. Comparisons of the above procedures for the variance components and the mean are made from exact expressions for the biases and mean square errors (MSEs) of the estimators and from empirical investigations.  相似文献

A flexible family of multivariate models, named multiple stable Tweedie (MST) models, is introduced and produces generalized variance functions which are products of powered components of the mean. These MST models are built from a fixed univariate stable Tweedie variable having a positive value domain, and the remaining random variables given the fixed one are also real independent Tweedie variables, with the same dispersion parameter equal to the fixed component. In this huge family of MST models, generalized variance estimators are explicitly pointed out by maximum likelihood method and, moreover, computably presented for the uniform minimum variance and unbiased approach. The second estimator is brought from modified Lévy measures of MST which lead to some solutions of particular Monge–Ampère equations.  相似文献

This paper discusses two reasons for invalidity of analysis of variance, namely heterogeneous variance and heterogeneous correlation. Textbook examples of data in two classifications are presented in which these failures of validating assumptions were not recognised and which led to analyses which were seriously in error. Both forms of heterogeneity result in a residual mean square in the usual analysis of variance being made up of heterogeneous components; the difficulty is overcome by partitioning the mean square and using the component appropriate to the hypothesis to be tested and the contrast to be estimated.  相似文献

The explicit forms of the minimum variance quadratic unbiased estimators (MIVQUEs) of the variance components are given for simple linear regression with onefold nested error. The resulting estimators are more efficient as the ratio of the initial variance components estimates increases and are asymptotically efficient as the ratio tends to infinity.  相似文献

In the conventional concept, the variance of a tolerance interval from the measurements is a single component, and the sample size for quality control process was estimated by the variance of a single component. However, we can find examples in recent about several components that could vary in their measurements, so an approximate method must be found to modify the conventional tolerance interval. In our paper, we develop an approach to calculate the sample size for a two-sided tolerance interval including several components in the variance from the measurements. An example is presented to illustrate our proposed method.  相似文献

The quality of estimation of variance components depends on the design used as well as on the unknown values of the variance components. In this article, three designs are compared, namely, the balanced, staggered, and inverted nested designs for the three-fold nested random model. The comparison is based on the so-called quantile dispersion graphs using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the variance components. It is demonstrated that the staggered nested design gives more stable estimates of the variance component for the highest nesting factor than the balanced design. The reverse, however, is true in case of lower nested factors. A comparison between ANOVA and ML estimation of the variance components is also made using each of the aforementioned designs.  相似文献

The general mixed linear model, containing both the fixed and random effects, is considered. Using gamma priors for the variance components, the conditional posterior distributions of the fixed effects and the variance components, conditional on the random effects, are obtained. Using the normal approximation for the multiple t distribution, approximations are obtained for the posterior distributions of the variance components in infinite series form. The same approximation Is used to obtain closed expressions for the moments of the variance components. An example is considered to illustrate the procedure and a numerical study examines the closeness of the approximations.  相似文献

The LM test is modified to test any value of the ratio of two variance components in a mixed effects linear model with two variance components. The test is exact, so it can be used to construct exact confidence intervals on this ratio.Exact Neyman-Pearson (NP) tests on the variance ratio are described.Their powers provide attainable upper bounds on powers of tests on the variance ratio.Efficiencies of LM tests, which include ANOVA tests, and NP tests are compared for unbalanced, random, one-way ANOVA models.Confidence intervals corresponding to LM tests and NP tests are described.  相似文献

We consider two estimation schemes based on penalized quasilikelihood and quasi-pseudo-likelihood in Poisson mixed models. The asymptotic bias in regression coefficients and variance components estimated by penalized quasilikelihood (PQL) is studied for small values of the variance components. We show the PQL estimators of both regression coefficients and variance components in Poisson mixed models have a smaller order of bias compared to those for binomial data. Unbiased estimating equations based on quasi-pseudo-likelihood are proposed and are shown to yield consistent estimators under some regularity conditions. The finite sample performance of these two methods is compared through a simulation study.  相似文献

For the balanced random effects models, when the variance components are correlated either naturally or through common prior structures, by assuming a mixed prior distribution for the variance components, we propose some new Bayesian estimators. To contrast and compare the new estimators with the minimum variance unbiased (MVUE) and restricted maximum likelihood estimators (RMLE), some simulation studies are also carried out. It turns out that the proposed estimators have smaller mean squared errors than the MVUE and RMLE.  相似文献

This article presents parametric bootstrap (PB) approaches for hypothesis testing and interval estimation for the regression coefficients and the variance components of panel data regression models with complete panels. The PB pivot variables are proposed based on sufficient statistics of the parameters. On the other hand, we also derive generalized inferences and improved generalized inferences for variance components in this article. Some simulation results are presented to compare the performance of the PB approaches with the generalized inferences. Our studies show that the PB approaches perform satisfactorily for various sample sizes and parameter configurations, and the performance of PB approaches is mostly the same as that of generalized inferences with respect to the expected lengths and powers. The PB inferences have almost exact coverage probabilities and Type I error rates. Furthermore, the PB procedure can be simply carried out by a few simulation steps, and the derivation is easier to understand and to be extended to the incomplete panels. Finally, the proposed approaches are illustrated by using a real data example.  相似文献
