Dear Joaquin,

You can derive eqn. 5.13 from the assumptions in eqn. 5.8, which assumes
that Yi follows a normal distribution.

Note that the example is use in a chapter which introduces **linear** mixed
models. Hence a normal distribution is assumed for the sake of simplicity.

Best regards,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
