Book Description

An advanced discussion of linear models with mixed or randomeffects. In recent years a breakthrough has occurred in our ability todraw inferences from exact and optimum tests of variance componentmodels, generating much research activity that relies on linearmodels with mixed and random effects. This volume covers the mostimportant research of the past decade as well as the latestdevelopments in hypothesis testing. It compiles all currentlyavailable results in the area of exact and optimum tests forvariance component models and offers the only comprehensivetreatment for these models at an advanced level. Statistical Tests for Mixed Linear Models: Combines analysis and testing in one self-containedvolume. Describes analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures in balancedand unbalanced data situations. Examines methods for determining the effect of imbalance ondata analysis. Explains exact and optimum tests and methods for theirderivation. Summarizes test procedures for multivariate mixed and randommodels. Enables novice readers to skip the derivations and discussionson optimum tests. Offers plentiful examples and exercises, manyof which are numerical in flavor. Provides solutions to selected exercises. Statistical Tests for Mixed Linear Models is an accessiblereference for researchers in analysis of variance, experimentaldesign, variance component analysis, and linear mixed models. It isalso an important text for graduate students interested in mixedmodels.
