Three spirometric measures of pulmonary function were used to estimate genetic and nongenetic components of variance for 781 members of 158 families ascertained through a proband with obstructive pulmonary disease. Forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the ratio
Two types of recursive estimators are developed for the variance components 2 and 2 of the dynamic linear model: non-Bayesian and Bayesian. From a frequentist point of view, both types of estimators are mean square consistent. The non-Bayesian estimator of 2 is also unbiased.
In mixed linear models with two variance components, classes of estimators improving on ANOVA estimators for the variance components and the ratio of variances are constructed on the basis of the invariant statistics. Out of the classes, consistent, improved and positive estimators are singled out.
