Title: | Performance of REML algorithms in multivariate analyses fitting reduced rank and factor-analytic models | Contributor(s): | Meyer, Karin (author) | Publication Date: | 2007 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/4154 | Abstract: | Convergence behaviour of restricted maximum likelihood algorithms in multivariate analyses imposing a factor-analytic structure on covariance matrices is examined. Results indicate that estimation for such models can entail a more difficult maximisation problem than 'unstructured' estimation. On the other hand, if only factors explaining negligible variation are omitted, convergence can be faster as parameters at the boundaries of the parameter space have been eliminated. The 'parameter expanded' expectation maximisation algorithm tends to require many more iterates than the 'average information' algorithm, but is useful, in particular when combined with the latter. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2007: 17th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Armidale, Australia, 23rd - 26th September, 2007 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.17, p. 280-283 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060412 Quantitative Genetics (incl Disease and Trait Mapping Genetics) | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830301 Beef Cattle | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/35062558?selectedversion=NBD42373479 http://www.aaabg.org/livestocklibrary/2007/meyer280.pdf |
