Abstract excerpt
Observed differences in phenotypic means between groups such as parents and their offspring or male and female twins can be decomposed into genetic and environmental components. The decomposition is based on the assumption that the difference in phenotypic means is due to a difference in the location of the normal genetic and environmental distributions underlying the phenotypic individual differences....
