The mixed‐model factorial analysis of variance has been used in many recent studies in
evolutionary quantitative genetics. Two competing formulations of the mixed‐model ANOVA …

This paper introduces graphical models as a natural environment in which to formulate and
solve problems in genetics and related areas. Particular emphasis is given to the …

Infinite-dimensional characters are those in which the phenotype of an individual is
described by a function, rather than by a finite set of measurements. Examples include …

A genetic model due to Lande [see ABA 44, 4008] is described. The model assumes a finite
number of loci at each of which there are an infinite number of alleles whose effects on the …

Predictions are made of the equilibrium genetic variances and responses in a metric trait
under the joint effects of directional selection, mutation and linkage in a finite population …

Soon after the rediscovery of Mendel's work at the turn of the century, a rift developed
between two opposing schools of thought. On the one hand were those who stressed the …

Abstract The Eiston-Stewart algorithm for a normally distributed trait under a polygenic
model is explained in detail and extended to allow for other continuous environmental …

The role of linkage in influencing heritable variation maintained through a balance between
mutation and stabilizing selection is investigated for two different models. In both cases one …

A multivariate dynamic model of a vector phenotype trait under the influence of a selective
mating pattern, a hierarchy of parental-offspring transmission rules, and random …
