Technical note: determining peeling order using sparse matrix algorithms.

Abstract excerpt

To study the effect of individual genes by segregation or linkage analyses, the likelihood of the model needs to be evaluated. The likelihood can be computed efficiently using the Elston-Stewart algorithm. This algorithm involves summing over the unobserved genotypes in the pedigree, which is called peeling. An important aspect of this algorithm is to determine the order of peeling to maximize efficiency. This...
