Abstract excerpt
Method R is a simple and computationally inexpensive method for estimating (co)variances. The objective of the study was to investigate properties of Method R for estimation of (co)variance components with emphasis on covariance estimation. Theoretical Method R formulas were developed for simplified single-variate and bivariate models. In single-trait models, the curve of the regression of Method R was continuous...
