Evaluation of analyses of univariate discrete twin data.

Behavior genetics - 1 May 2002

Sullivan Patrick F, Eaves Lindon J

Abstract excerpt

Akiake's Information Criterion (AIC) is commonly used in univariate twin modeling of a discrete trait to prune a full model into a more parsimonious submodel. It is possible that this practice could introduce bias and inaccuracy, and we could identify no prior systematic study of these issues. Thus, we used simulation to investigate the performance of AIC-guided modeling across a broad range of parameters. Our...
