A new jackknife method for unbalanced variance component problems with applications in quantitative genetics /

A new jackknife method is proposed for variance estimation of a heritability estimator in unbalanced random-effects models. This work is motivated by the need for analyzing a data set obtained in a project to study the quantitative genetics of fire ants. The new method uses the concept of weighted...
