First sentence: ..this is an excellent book for the theoretically minded variance-components investigator.
Description: The excellent book is clearly written and easy to follow. It will be the standard textbook on variance and covariance components estimation! The wealth of theory collected in this volume is almost overwhelming, and so this work is likely to become an indispersable tool for everyone working in the area of mixed models.
Notes: The book is a very useful and highly recommended text for the specialist. -- Journal of the Royal Statistical Society
