Plant breeders traditionally have estimated genotypic and phenotypic correlations between traits using the method of moments on the basis of a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Drawbacks of using the method of moments to estimate variance and covariance components include the...

The increased interest in the variability of soil properties is responsible for recent observations that soil variables are not normally distributed but are more closely approximated by the two-parameter lognormal frequency distribution. Statistical methods commonly applied in the estimation of...
