Description
Abstract:	This dissertation may be summarized by its two parts. In Chapter I, consistent quadratic estimators for the variance components of a general mixed ANOVA model are developed. In Chapter II, a convex function which can describe any closed and bounded, convex set is developed and applied to a constrained quadratic regression problem using convex programming techniques.
