EM-REML estimation of covariance parameters in Gaussian mixed models for longitudinal data analysis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>This paper presents procedures for implementing the EM algorithm to compute REML estimates of variance covariance components in Gaussian mixed models for longitudinal data analysis. The class of models considered includes random coefficient factors, stationary ti...
