Abstract
Adopting a Bayesian viewpoint, a method is presented for the analysis of ce nsored records based on a Gaussian mixed effects model. The method uses the Gibbs sampler and data augmentation. Examples are presented using the moto rette data of Schmee & Hahn (1979, Technometrics 21, 417-432) plus other si mulated data sets that illustrate animal breeding applications.
