Maximum-likelihood estimation of relatedness.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2003

Milligan Brook G

Abstract excerpt

Relatedness between individuals is central to many studies in genetics and population biology. A variety of estimators have been developed to enable molecular marker data to quantify relatedness. Despite this, no effort has been given to characterize the traditional maximum-likelihood estimator i...
