Between Algorithms: A "Short Cut" Restricted Maximum Likelihood Procedure to Estimate Variance Components
A restricted maximum likelihood procedure is described to estimate variance and covariance components in a multivariate mixed model when records are missing for some traits. The algorithm combines features of an expectat ionmaximization algorithm to estimate the within random effects components with the method of scoring to estimate the between random effects components. The procedure is comput...
متن کاملRestricted Maximum Likelihood Method to estimate components of genetic variation – an example in quantitative methods
Background Helminths constitute one of the most important constraints to livestock production in the tropics. Widespread infection with internal parasites in grazing animals, associated production losses, costs of anthelmintics and death of infected animals are some of the major concerns. Current control methods focus on reducing contamination of pastures through anthelmintic treatment and/or c...
متن کاملConsistency Of Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimators Of Principal Components
In this paper we consider two closely related problems : estimation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel of functional data based on (possibly) irregular measurements, and the problem of estimating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix for high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. In [23], a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach has been developed to d...
متن کاملRestricted maximum likelihood
This paper surveys the theoretical and computational development of the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) approach for the estimation of covariance matrices in linear stochastic models. A new derivation of this approach is given, valid under very weak conditions on the noise. Then the calculation of the gradient of restricted loglikelihood functions is discussed , with special emphasis on th...
متن کاملThe use of linear mixed models to estimate variance components from data on twin pairs by maximum likelihood.
It is shown that maximum likelihood estimation of variance components from twin data can be parameterized in the framework of linear mixed models. Standard statistical packages can be used to analyze univariate or multivariate data for simple models such as the ACE and CE models. Furthermore, specialized variance component estimation software that can handle pedigree data and user-defined covar...
