Three new improved regression estimators of heritability viz. modified range restricted estimator, minimum quadratic loss estimator and minimax h e a r restricted estimator are proposed. In addition, these estimatore are illustrated and compared numerically with the existing restricted estimator bas

## Abstract Three logistic transformation estimators are proposed to deal with the problem of inadmissible estimates of intraβsire regression heritability (__h__^2^). These are compared with the estimators of earlier workers. The logistic transformation estimator with exponential correction is show
Assuming normality of observations an almost unbiased estimator of heritability (P) for half-sib data design has been obtained. Results of bias in the conventional estimator for several combinations of sireldam number and h\* are discussed for the balanced situation.
The distribution and moments of ANOVA estimator of heritability are given under unbalanced random model. These expressions are used to investigate the effect of unbalancedness on the bias and variance/MSE of the estimator and also the validity of certain approximations for its variance, numerically.
