Should the standard deviation of BLUB´s not be equal to the square root of variance component?
BLUB´s (random effect predictions/random coefficients) seems to be calculated by scaling the centered Means with the Variance Component divided by Variance of Means. However, this causes BLUB´s to have a lower standard deviation than the square root of the variance component. If they were scaled by the square root of the Variance Component divided by Variance of Means, the standard deviation of th...
