Abstract excerpt
Performance of the "quasi-REML" method for estimating correlations between a continuous trait and a categorical trait, and between two categorical traits, was studied with Monte Carlo simulations. Three continuous, correlated traits were simulated for identical populations and three scenarios with either no selection, selection for one moderately heritable trait (Trait 1, h2 = .25), and selection for the same...
