| Abstract: | This article provides (1) a comprehensive coverage of the literature on designs for estimating variance components, and (2) a review of recent applications of such designs in genetics, statistical process control, and quality improvement. In addition, recent methods of estimation of variance components and model forms, other than the linear, are discussed. The latter developments have a direct effect on the choice of design. Some suggested ideas for future research directions are also given. |
