Summary. This article presents results for the maximum likelihood analysis of several groups of measurements made on the same quantity. Following Cochran (1937, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society 4 (Supple), 102–118; 1954, Biometrics 10 , 101–129; 1980, in Proceedings of the 25th Conference on the Design of Experiments in Army Research, Development and Testing , 21–33) and others, this problem is formulated as a one‐way unbalanced random‐effects ANOVA with unequal within‐group variances. A reparametrization of the likelihood leads to simplified computations, easier identification and interpretation of multimodality of the likelihood, and (through a non‐informative‐prior Bayesian approach) approximate confidence regions for the mean and between‐group variance.
