Abstract excerpt
We propose a constrained permutation test that assesses the significance of an observed quantitative trait locus effect against a background of genetic and environmental variation. Permutations of phenotypes are not selected at random, but rather are chosen in a manner that attempts to maintain the additive genetic variability in phenotypes. Such a constraint maintains the nonindependence among observations under...
