Restricted maximum likelihood estimation of genetic principal components and smoothed covariance matrices

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Principal component analysis is a widely used 'dimension reduction' technique, albeit generally at a phenotypic level. It is shown that we can estimate genetic principal components directly through a simple reparameterisation of the usual linear, mixed...
