Mixed model analyses via restricted maximum likelihood, fitting the so-called animal model, have become standard methodology for the estimation of genetic variances. Models involving multiple genetic ...
A general two-level latent variable model is developed to provide a comprehensive framework for model comparison of various submodels. Nonlinear relationships among the latent variables in the ...
In testing a null hypothesis on the basis of independent and identically distributed observations let $\hat{T}_{n}$ be the normalized likelihood ratio statistic and let $\hat{L}_{n}$ be the level ...
