The so-called linear approach to estimating linear functions of variance and/or covariance components clearly shows the well-known connection between quadratic, invariant and unbiased, estimation and the classical linear theory methods, LSE and BLUE. This approach allows us to consider and to use fu
In this paper, Bayes estimators of variance components are derived for the one-way random e ects model, and empirical Bayes (EB) estimators are constructed by the kernel estimation method of a multivariate density and its mixed partial derivatives. It is shown that the EB estimators are asymptotical
The simple mating designs provide unbiased estimates for genetic components of variance (additive genetic variance and dominance variance) under the assumption of no epistatic effect. There is empirical evidence, however, that suggests the existence of epistatic gene effects. The triallel and double
