In this article we consider the partitioned fixed linear model F : y = X1β1 + X2β2 + ε" and the corresponding mixed model M : y =X1β1+X2u+ ε, where ε is a random error vector and u is a random effect vector. In 2006, Isotalo, M¨ols, and Puntanen found conditions under which an arbitrary representation of the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of an estimable parametric function of β1 in the fixed model F remains BLUE in the mixed model M . In this paper we extend the results concerning further equalities arising from models F and M.

From the available literature on estimation of the parameters of the uniform distribution over [ kθ, kθ + θ], we find the necessity to construct improved estimators of the parameter θ when k is known. In this paper a new estimator of θ is proposed when k is known and its performance is compared with best linear unbiased estimator of θ based on two extreme observations.
