Estimating Variance Components in Functional Linear Models with Applications to Genetic Heritability
Quantifying heritability is the first step in understanding the contribution of geneticvariation to the risk architecture of complex human diseases and traits. Heritabilitycan be estimated for univariate phenotypes from non-family data using linear mixedeffects models. There is, however, no fully developed methodology for defining orestimating heritability from longitudinal ...
متن کاملTesting multiple variance components in linear mixed-effects models.
Testing zero variance components is one of the most challenging problems in the context of linear mixed-effects (LME) models. The usual asymptotic chi-square distribution of the likelihood ratio and score statistics under this null hypothesis is incorrect because the null is on the boundary of the parameter space. During the last two decades many tests have been proposed to overcome this diffic...
متن کاملU-tests for variance components in linear mixed models
We propose U -statistics-based tests for null variance components in linear mixed models. We obtain their asymptotic distribution (for increasing number of units) under mild regularity conditions that include only the existence of the second moment for the distribution of the random effects and of the fourth moment for the distribution of the conditional errors. We also derive their nonnull dis...
متن کاملOrthogonality and transformations in variance components models
In this paper we consider variance components and other models for repeated measures in which a general transformation is applied to the response variable. Using Cox and Reid's concept of parameter orthogonality (1987, JRSS B 49, 1-18) and some approximations to the information matrix we show that the intraclass correlation coe cient in the one-way model is robust to the choice of transformatio...
متن کاملVariance Components Estimation in Generalized Orthogonal Models
The model y = ∑w j=1 Xjβj + e is generalized orthogonal if the orthogonal projection matrices on the range spaces of matrices Xj , j = 1, ..., w, commute. Unbiased estimators are obtained for the variance components of such models with cross-nesting.
