Mixed model analyses via restricted maximum likelihood, fitting the so-called animal model, have become standard methodology for the estimation of genetic variances. Models involving multiple genetic ...

The difference between profile likelihood and modified profile likelihood depends primarily on the expected value of a certain third order derivative of the log likelihood. It is shown that in ...

In testing a null hypothesis on the basis of independent and identically distributed observations let $\hat{T}_{n}$ be the normalized likelihood ratio statistic and let $\hat{L}_{n}$ be the level ...
