Abstract excerpt
The Haseman and Elston (H-E) method uses a simple linear regression to model the squared trait difference of sib pairs with the shared allele identical by descent (IBD) at marker locus for linkage testing. Under this setting, the squared mean-corrected trait sum is also linearly related to the IBD sharing. However, the resulting slope estimate for either model is not efficient. In this report, we propose a simple...
