| Abstract |
|---|
The maximum likelihood estimates of the parent-sib interclass correlation and other parameters are obtained, when the between sibs correlation matrix has a circular structure. The problem of testing hypotheses about interclass correlation is also considered.
Key Words: Circular covariance Interclass correlation Maximum likelihood estimator Parent sib-mean estimator
