Confidence intervals on the total variance in an unbalanced random two-fold nested design are constructed and compared. Computer simulation indicates the proposed intervals provide confidence coeflicients that are generally close to the stated level.

โฆ Synopsis
Confidence intervals and tests of hypotheses on variance components are required in studies that employ a random effects design. The unbalanced random two-fold nested design is considered in this paper and conlidence intervals are proposed for the variance components u : and u;. Computer simulation is used to show that even in very unbalanced designs, these intervals generally maintain the stated confidence coefficient. l h e hypothesis test for ui based on the lower bound of the recommended confidence interval is shown to be better than previously proposed approximate tests.
