Abstract

An in-depth investigation on maximum likelihood estimators for variance components is proposed, where the reference is a multilevel model with misspecifications on random effect distribution. The multivariate distributions here introduced for the random effects belong to the family of the Multivariate Exponential Power (MEP) distributions. Our primary interest is devoted to the vaxiability of such estimators, since the MEPs have a noteworthy influence upon it.
