Title: The BLUP's Asymptotic Distribution: A Didactical Note
Author(s): Luis Frank*+
Companies: University of Buenos Aires
Address: Av. San Martin 4453, Buenos Aires, International, C1417DSE, Argentina
Keywords: BLUP ; Mixed Models ; Linear Models ; Random Effects
Abstract:

The paper derives the asymptotic variance of a mixed-model's predictor obtained by penalized least squares and shows that asymptotically the variance of the prediction error does not depend on the variance of the random-effects, a result that seems to have been overlooked in the literature. A closed form for the predictor's finite sample variance is also presented.
