Abstract

The article addresses the best unbiased estimators of doubly exchangeable covariance structure, an extension of block exchangeable covariance structure, for three-level multivariate data. Under multivariate normality, the free-coordinate approach is used to obtain linear and quadratic estimates for the model parameters that are unbiased, sufficient, complete and consistent. Data from a clinical trial study is analyzed to illustrate the application of the obtained results.
