The three estimators were the mode of a normal approximation to the marginal posterior distribution of the component which is denoted in the literature as marginal maximum likelihood MML the mean of the marginal posterior distribution of the component using the Gibbs sampler to perform the marginalisations GSR and third the mode of the joint posterior distributions of location and the variance parameter used in conjunction with the iterative bootstrap bias correction MJP-IBC . The latter was recently proposed in the literature as a method to obtain nearly unbiased estimators. The results of this study confirm that MML can yield biased inferences about the variance component and that the sign of the bias depends on the amount of information associated with either fixed effects or with random effects. GSR can produce positively biased inferences when the amount of data per fixed effect is small. When fixed effects are poorly estimated the bias persists despite the fact that posterior distributions are guaranteed to be proper and that the amount of information about the variance component is large. In this case the marginal posterior distribution of the variance component is highly peaked and symmetric but it shows a shift towards the right with respect to the true simulated value. This bias can be reduced by assigning a Gaussian .
