摘要
The relative merits of ten estimators for the variance component of the balanced and unbalanced one-way random effects models are compared. Six of the estimators are nonnegative, two of which are obtained by modifying the Minimum Variance Quadratic Unbiased Estimator (MIVQUE) and the Weighted Least Square Estimator (WLS), and two more from the positive parts of these estimators. The Minimum Norm Quadratic Estimator (MINQE), which is nonnegative, is adjusted for reducing its bias. The nonnegative Minimum Mean Square Error Estimator (MIMSQE), the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Unweighted Sums of Squares (USS) estimator are also included.
