A special type of modelling of interaction is investigated in the framework of two-way analysis of variance models for homologous factors. Factors are said to be homologous when their levels are in a meaningful one-to-one relationship, which arise in a wide variety of contexts, as recalled by...

Maximum likelihood estimation is investigated in the context of linear regression models under partial independence restrictions. These restrictions aim to assume a kind of completeness of a set of predictors "Z" in the sense that they are sufficient to explain the dependencies between an...
