Abstract excerpt
The Elston-Stewart algorithm for a normally distributed trait under a polygenic model is explained in detail and extended to allow for other continuous environmental variables. This formulation is especially useful for large pedigrees, as it avoids the need to invert matrices. Whereas it may not...
