Keywords:
Bayesian estimation; standard random linear model; posterior distribution; inverted multidimensional Dirichlet distribution; intraclass correlation coefficients
Summary:
The method of determining Bayesian estimators for the special ratios of variance components called the intraclass correlation coefficients is presented. The exact posterior distribution for these ratios of variance components is obtained. The approximate posterior mean of this distribution is also derived. All computations are non-iterative and avoid numerical integration.
