Mixed linear models are assumed in most animal breeding applications. Convenient methods for computing BLUE of the estimable linear functions of the fixed elements of the model and for computing best ...

L-moments are expectations of certain linear combinations of order statistics. They can be defined for any random variable whose mean exists and form the basis of a general theory which covers the ...

Such functions are called linear, for reasons that I'll explain soon enough (well, we generally want another condition for linear functions involving scalar multiples of the variable, but I'll ...
