In this paper, we study the problem of estimating variance components in the two-way classification with interaction in the random-effect linear model by non-linear maximization. We assume the model according to the assumptions and give the theory of derivation of the estimators of these components, then apply these estimators to real data and obtain the estimates. We estimate these components by two other methods: the solution of the expected equation of mean square in the analysis of the variance table, and the minimum-variance quadratic unbiased estimator.
