   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract" lang="en">This work describes methods associated with general random effects models. Part one describes a technique for investigating mean-variance relationships in random effects models. Part two derives and approximation to the likelihood function using a Laplace expansion to the fourth order.</dim:field>
