In this paper, we examine the small sample properties of the pre-test iterative variance estimator in regression. The explicit formula of MSE is derived, and it is shown that the pre-test iterative variance estimator with an appropriate critical value dominates the iterative variance estimator witho
Estimates of additive, dominance, maternal, and paternal components of variance were obtained for a sample of 18 traits, including measurements of yield, scapes, flowers, disk, ray and trans florets, leaves, and branching in the Davis population of Gerbera hybrida. The results, based on the covarian
