Abstract

In the presence of non-normality, we consider testing for the significance of the variance components in the unbalanced two-way random model without interaction. The approximate test is based on the F-statistic for this model. The asymptotic distribution of the F-statistic is derived as the number of treatments tends to infinity while the number of observations for a treatment in any block takes value from a finite set of positive integers. Robustness of the approximate test is given.
