In certain multivariate problems the full probability density has an awkward normalizing constant, but the conditional and/or marginal distributions may be much more tractable. In this paper we ...

The exact and asymptotic distributions of the maximum likelihood estimate of a factor loading are studied. We study the distribution in a factor analysis model with two normally distributed ...

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 ...
