Keywords:
mixed linear model; minimum norm quadratic estimation; variance components; first order fixed parameter unknowns; second order fixed parameter unknowns; invariant for translations
Summary:
In the paper four types of estimations of the linear function of the variance components are presented for the mixed linear model $\bold{Y=X \beta + e}$ with expectation $E(\bold{Y)=X \beta}$ and covariance matrix $D(\bold{Y)=0_1V_1 + ... + 0_mV_m}$.
