vci: confidence limits for method of moments estimators of variance components

Description

function for getting confidence intervals on variance components estimated by the method of moments

Usage

vci(confl,c1,ms1,nu1,c2,ms2,nu2)

Arguments

confl

input- confidence level

c1

input - linear combination coefficient of ms1 in the estimated variance component

ms1

input - Anova mean square 1

nu1

input - Anova degrees of freedom for mean square 1

c2

input - linear combination coefficient of ms2 in the estimated variance component

ms2

input - Anova mean square 2

nu2

input - Anova degrees of freedom for mean square 2

Value

• returned delta, Lower and Upper limits

Examples
