Estimation of variance components in staggered nested designs

Variance components are estimated by two different methods for a general p stage random-effects staggered nested design. In addition to estimation from an analysis of variance, a new approach is introduced. The main features of this new technique are its simplicity and its ability to yield non-negative estimates of the variance components. The performances of the two procedures are compared using simulation and the meansquared-error criterion.
