Markov Chain Monte Carlo approaches to analysis of genetic and environmental components of human developmental change and G x E interaction.

Abstract excerpt

The linear structural model has provided the statistical backbone of the analysis of twin and family data for 25 years. A new generation of questions cannot easily be forced into the framework of current approaches to modeling and data analysis because they involve nonlinear processes. Maximizing the likelihood with respect to parameters of such nonlinear models is often cumbersome and does not yield easily to...
