The analysis of variance is a frequently used technique of data analysing and probably the most used statistical method in 20th century. However, there are a lot of ambiguities in the interpretation of particular aspects. The aim of this text is an explanation of one of the fundamental parts of this method - the variance components estimation. Namely, by calculating variability in observations we can divide their variance into parts which correspond to the factors we examine, and that means that the subject of study are the variance components. This text is a presentation of Henderson's method for variance components estimation in models of analysis of variance.

HENDERSONOV PRISTUP OCENI VARIJANSNIH KOMPONENTI ZA NEURAVNOTEŽENE PODATKE
Analiza varijanse je obilato korišćena tehnika analize podataka i verovatno najčešće korišćeni statistički metod u dvadesetom veku. No, i pored toga, još uvek postoje nejasnoće u tumačenju pojedinih njenih aspekata. Ovaj rad ima za cilj osvetljavanje jednog od fundamentalnih delova ovog metoda - ocenu varijansnih komponenti. Naime, u cilju izračunavanja varijabiliteta u posmatranjima možemo razložiti njihovu varijansu na delove koji odgovaraju faktorima koje proučavamo, a to u stvari znači da predmet proučavanja predstavljaju varijansne komponente. U radu je prezentovan kritički pristup Henderson-ov metode ocene varijansnih komponenti u modelima analize varijanse.
