The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, Vol. 27, No. 3 (Sep., 1956), pp. 737-748 (12 pages) The sampling variance of the least squares estimates of the components of variance in an unbalanced ...

The distribution of genetic variation among multiple traits is a key determinant of how a population will respond to selection (Lande, 1979; Schluter, 1996; Arnold et al., 2001). For the prediction of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Genetic potential for evolutionary change and covariational constraints are typically summarized as the genetic variance-covariance matrix G, ...

This paper proposes a novel shrinkage estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices by extending the Oracle Approximating Shrinkage (OAS) of Chen et al. (2009) to target the diagonal elements of ...

The COV= option must be specified to compute an approximate covariance matrix for the parameter estimates under asymptotic theory for least-squares, maximum-likelihood, or Bayesian estimation, with or ...

This section provides an overview of a likelihood-based approach to general linear mixed models. This approach simplifies and unifies many common statistical analyses, including those involving ...
