Abstract excerpt
Statistically characterizing factors responsible for quantitative phenotype expression (e.g., polygenes, major genes, shared household factors, etc.) through model selection strategies is a difficult task. A great deal of effort has been expended on refining mathematical and computational aspects of various segregation models used to characterize unique expressions of quantitative phenotypes in an effort to make...
