✦ Synopsis

In this paper we consider the linear compartment model and consider the estimation procedures of the di erent parameters. We discuss a method to obtain the initial estimators, which can be used for any iterative procedures to obtain the least-squares estimators. Four di erent types of conΓΏdence intervals have been discussed and they have been compared by computer simulations. We propose di erent methods to estimate the number of components of the linear compartment model. One data set has been used to see how the di erent methods work in practice.

Methods of parameter estimation for nonlinear models have generally been based on appropriate least squares procedures. The authors have presented previously, for the one compartment open model, a marginal likelihood approach which obviates some of the difhcuhies encountered in the nonlinear least s

It is a consequence of the minimum discrimination information theorem, that minimum discrimination information distributions are formulated as members of an exponential family (CAMPBELL, 1970; KULLBACK, 1959). For applications to the analysis of contingency tables i t is useful to express the expone
