Step Component Number of operations
1 (X1X1)-1 p1
2 X1X2Var(β^2)X2X1 p1p22+p12p2
3 Multiplying (X1X1)-1 on both sides of step 2 2p12
4 X1X2Var(β^2,β^1) p12p2
5 Multiplying (X1X1)-1 on the left side of step 4 p12
6 Addition to obtain correction factor for other fixed effects 2p12
7 Addition of step 6 to Var(β^1) p12
8 Completing PEVMean p1
