We show that a non-identifiability problem can occur when one attempts to estimate the degrees of freedom and the unstructured covariance matrix simultaneously in a Gaussian-inverted Wishart model, using the maximum likelihood approach. However, the EM algorithm may falsely converge to give finite e

This paper proves that a modiΓΏed Je reys's prior on the variance components in binary random e ects models is integrable under mild conditions on the link function. These conditions are shown to be satisΓΏed for two commonly used link functions, the logit and probit functions.
