Abstract excerpt
Burton et al. ([1999] Genet. Epidemiol. 17:118-140) proposed a series of generalized linear mixed models for pedigree data that account for residual correlation between related individuals. These models may be fitted using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, but the posterior mean for small variance components can exhibit marked positive bias. Burton et al. ([1999] Genet. Epidemiol. 17:118-140) suggested that this...
