Abstract

An efficient algorithm is described for computing restricted maximum likelihood estimates of variance components in a class of models.The class of models is characterized by effects to be absorbed, which are nested within herds, other fixed effects, random sire effects, one other group of random effects nested within herds, and a random residual.The model can be generalized to account for relationships among sires.Matrix inversion is not used.A realistic example is presented.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
