Pages 1659-1669 | Received 01 Jul 1981, Published online: 27 Jun 2007
 

Abstract

The MINQUE and its modifications are considered for estimating the variances of the balanced one-way random effects model. The effects of the a priori values on the estimators of the variances are examined in detail. The Mean Square Errors of the estimators are compared for variations in the prior values of the unknown variances.
