Abstract excerpt
The Haseman-Elston regression method offers a simpler alternative to variance-components (VC) models, for the linkage analysis of quantitative traits. However, even the "revisited" method, which uses the cross-product--rather than the squared difference--in sib trait values, is, in general, less powerful than VC models. In this report, we clarify the relative efficiencies of existing Haseman-Elston methods and...
