Abstract

A method for deriving exact tests for variance components in some unbalanced mixed linear models is presented. The derivation is based on a new kind of preliminary orthogonal transformation and a subsequent resampling procedure. The resulting tests are based on mutually independent sums of squares which, under the null hypothesis, are distributed as scalar multiples of chi-square variates. For balanced data, the tests are identical to the traditional F tests.
