This paper consider the testing problem of variance component for the unbalanced two-way error component model with nuisance parameter. We derive the one-sided LM test statistic for testing zero individual(time) effects assuming that the other time-specific(individual) effects are present. Using the Monte Carlo experiments, the computational more demanding LR test slightly underestimates the nominal size and has the low powers relative to LM test statistic.
