Direct estimation of genetic principal components: simplified analysis of complex phenotypes.
Genetics - 1 Dec 2004

Abstract excerpt
Estimating the genetic and environmental variances for multivariate and function-valued phenotypes poses problems for estimation and interpretation. Even when the phenotype of interest has a large number of dimensions, most variation is typically associated with a small number of principal components (eigen-vectors or eigenfunctions). We propose an approach that directly estimates these leading principal...
