Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose a simple method to determine the number of distinct eigenvalues and the spectral decomposition of covariance matrix for a variance components model. The method introduced in this paper is based on a partial ordering of symmetric matrix and relation matrix. A method is also given for checking straightforwardly whether these distinct eigenvalues are linear dependent as functions of variance components. Some examples and applications to illustrate the results are presented.
