Abstract excerpt
One of the current issues in genetic epidemiology is detecting susceptibility genes on the genome. It is common now to undertake systematic screening of the genome using approaches based on a measure of the haplotype sharing in sib pairs. Here, we compare the efficiency of two statistics, the maximum likelihood score (MLS) and the nonparametric linkage score (NPLa) on the simulated data provided for GAW11. A...
