Abstract(s)

The goal of this paper is to present what we think to be an interesting development of the concept of pivot variable. The inducing pivot variables induce probability measures which may be used to carry out inference. As illustration of this approach we will show how to obtain confidence intervals for the variance components of mixed linear models.
