The regressive models for the analysis of family data are extended to include cases in which
the within-sibship covariation may exceed that implied by the class A regressive model, but …

We present a new method of quantitative-trait linkage analysis that combines the simplicity
and robustness of regression-based methods and the generality and greater power of …

With the rapid advances in molecular biology, the near completion of the human genome,
the development of appropriate statistical genetic methods and the availability of the …

Use of variance-component estimation for mapping of quantitative-trait loci in humans is a
subject of great current interest. When only trait values, not genotypic information, are …

Abstract We introduce a Monte Carlo approach to combined segregation and linkage
analysis of a quantitative trait observed in an extended pedigree. In conjunction with the …

The mixed model is an independent combination of major loci and polygenes. A method of
approximating the likelihood of the mixed model on quantitative data is presented. The …

An equivalent model for multibreed variance covariance estimation is presented. It considers
the additive case including or not the segregation variances. The model is based on splitting …

Abstract Kendall and Buckland's Dictionary of statistical terms first appeared in 1957, and
came out in four editions. During this time, it has been the standard statistical dictionary, and …

The application of Gibbs sampling is considered for inference in a mixed inheritance model
in animal populations. Implementation of the Gibbs sampler on scalar components, as used …

This paper presents a mixed model of inheritance with a finite number of polygenic loci. This
model leads to a likelihood that can be calculated using efficient algorithms developed for …
