This text is to be highly recommended as one that provides a modern perspective on fitting models to data. (Short Book Reviews, Vol. 21, No. 2, August 2001) "For graduate students and...statisticians, McCulloch and Searle begin by reviewing the basics of linear models and linear mixed models..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001) "...a very good reference book." (Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 964, 2001/14) "...another fine contribution to the statistics literature from these respected authors..." (Technometrics, Vol. 45, No. 1, February 2003)
