so that<br />

V ar(û − u) = V ar(û) + G − 2V ar(û)<br />

= G − V ar(û).<br />

Also,<br />

7 <strong>Mixed</strong> <strong>Model</strong> Equations<br />

The covariance matrix of y is V which is of order N. N is usually too large to allow V to<br />

be inverted. The BLUP predictor has the inverse of V in the formula, and therefore, would<br />

not be practical when N is large. Henderson(1949) developed the mixed model equations for<br />

computing BLUP of u and the GLS of b. However, Henderson did not publish a proof of these<br />

properties until 1963 with the help of S. R. Searle, which was one year after Goldberger (1962).<br />

Take the first and second partial derivatives of F,<br />

which when re-arranged gives<br />

M = Z ′ L − G −1 S,<br />

Take the first row of these equations and solve for L, then substitute the solution for L into<br />

the other two equations.<br />

L = −R −1 Xθ − R −1 ZS<br />
