Summary

This project is going to be the continuation of a project on orthogonal mixed models that has been developed in the CMA (Centro de Matemática Aplicada-FCT_UNL) e CIMA (Centro de Investigação em Matemática Aplicada-UE) research centers. In this project we consider linear mixed models with COBS (commutative orthogonal block structure), OBS (orthogonal block structure) and without any kind of orthogonality. The goal is to develop inference on estimable functions and variance components, using essential results in Zmyslony (1978), stochastic algorithms and algebraic manipulation of the models.

Goals, activities and expected/achieved results

Goals

The project that is now presented is going to extend the analysis of models with OBS to mixed models in general. For more than three variance components, the usual techniques for the analysis of models with OBS become difficult to apply. These difficulties will be surpassed by the new approach now introduced.

Activities

The diffusion of results will be made by the publication of papers on international journals, communications on national and international conferences and the organization of talks and seminars.
