<br/><br/> The Bayesian approach was used , in this study , to overcome the problem of possible negative estimate for the variance components of the classical approaches However , since the full Bayesian approach needs numerical integrations to obtain the marginal posterior distributions which are impossible in many situations , some of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms were implemented in the thesis
