Abstract excerpt
Residual Maximum Likelihood (REML) analysis is the most widely used method to estimate variance components and heritability. This method is based on large sample theory under the assumption that the parameter estimates are asymptotically multivariate normally distributed with covariance matrix given by the inverse of the information matrix. Hence, these sampling variances could be biased if the assumption of...
