TESTING OF VARIANCE COMPONENTS FOR CONTINUOUS DATA FROM NESTED UNBALANCED DESIGNS

Abstract

Under unbalanced design, testing of variance ratios are generally neither independent nor distributed as chi-square variates and does not follow standard F-distribution. In this case, exact testing of variance ratios is not available in the literature. Procedure for unbalanced data (generally not independent and are not distributed as chi-square variates) has been developed for testing the variance components in one way and two way unbalanced nested designs. © 2022 DAV College.
