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 ...

In multiple change-point problems, different data segments often follow different distributions, for which the changes may occur in the mean, scale or the entire distribution from one segment to ...

The existence of maximum likelihood estimates for a class of heterocedastic regression models in considered. For a given dispersion function we show that, under a weak condition, the likelihood in ...
