Abstract:

Under weighted squared-error loss function, Bayes estimators of variance components are derived and empirical Bayes (EB) estimators are constructed by nonparametric method for balanced twoway classification random effects model. The convergence rates of EB estimators are established under suitable conditions. Finally, an example concerning the main result is given.

Key words: random effects model, variance components, Bayes estimators, empirical Bayes est imators, convergence rates
