<br/><br/> A semiparametric mixed analysis of covariance model for a crossover design with<br/>carryover effects is postulated. A hybrid of restricted maximum likelihood estimation and<br/>smoothing splines regression are imbedded into the backfitting algorithm is used to estimate<br/>the model. The responses are adjusted for covariate effect through a nonparametric function of<br/>the covariates. Simulation study indicates that a bootstrap-based test for variance components<br/>is correctly-sized for variance components. The test is powerful in testing for variance<br/>component and relatively robust to the magnitude of variance in the alternative hypothesis.<br/>Furthermore, the test is advantageous over ordinary analysis of covariance in the presence of<br/>misclassification error and in non-normal error on unbalanced data.
