150 NORMAL LINEAR MODELS
8.3.3 Marginal IM for the variance components
For simplicity, here we will assume that λ
L
= 0; this assumption often holds, as in
the three examples discussed in Section 8.3.4.4 below, but there are models, such as
the full animal model [132], where it may fail. To start, for a given S = s and σ
2
, we
can solve for the auxiliary variable v in the above baseline association:

ε
, ` = 1,... ,L 1, v
s,σ
2
,L
=
s
L
σ

ε
.
Differentiating this expression with respect to both components of σ
2
gives an L ×2
matrix v
s,σ
2
/ σ
2
= diag{v
s,σ
2
}W (σ

), where the rows of W (σ

) are given by
