The General Solution to Optimal Unbiased Estimation

  • Chapter
Optimal Unbiased Estimation of Variance Components

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Statistics ((LNS,volume 39))

Abstract

In this chapter we bring to a close the first phase of our study, namely the solution to the problem of finding estimates of the components which are unbiased translation invariant, and optimal in the sense of then having minimum variance. It is here that we also introduce structural ideas that are taken up more completely in the following chapters.
