Methods of segregation analysis for animal breeding data: parameter estimates.

Abstract excerpt

Three approximations to the combined model likelihood (including variation due to both polygenes and a major gene) used in segregation analysis were compared in their ability to estimate the parameters describing the model. Paternal half-sib data simulated under four different combined models were used. In general, when a combined model provides the best explanation of the data the parameter estimates from all...
