Fiducial Intervals for Variance Components in an Unbalanced Two-Component Normal Mixed Linear Model
非平衡双分量正态混合线性模型中方差分量的信赖区间
In this article we propose a new method for constructing confidence intervals for σα2,σϵ2, and the intraclass correlation ρ==σα2(σα2++σε2) in a two-component mixed-effects linear model. This method is based on an extension of R. A. Fisher's fiducial argument. We conducted a simulation study to compare the resulting interval estimates with other competing confidence interval procedures from the literature. Our results demonstrate that the proposed fiducial intervals have…
