Inference for variance components in linear mixed models of ANOVA type, including estimation and testing, has been investigated when the number of fixed effects is fixed. However, for high-dimensional data, this number is large and would be regarded as a divergent value as the sample size goes...

This paper studies case deletion diagnostics for multilevel models. Using subset deletion, diagnostic measures for identifying influential units at any level are developed for both fixed and random parameters. Two approximate update formulae are derived. The first formula uses one-step...

Influence analysis is important in modelling and identification of special patterns in the data. It is well established in ordinary regression. However, analogous diagnostics are generally not available for the multilevel regression model, in which estimation involves a complex iterative...

This paper studies the exact distributions of the MLEs of the regression coefficient matrices in a GMANOVA-MANOVA model with normal error. The unique conditions for linear functions of the MLEs of regression coefficient matrices are presented, and the exact density functions or characteristic...
