As illustration we considered mixed models with balanced cross nesting and used the algebraic structure to derive confidence intervals for the variance components. A numerical application is presented.engInducing pivot variablesVariance componentsMeasurable functionsChisquared and related inducing pivot variables: an application to orthogonal mixed modelsjournal article10.1080/03610926.2013.770532
