A note on the asymptotic distribution of likelihood ratio tests to test variance components.

Twin research and human genetics : the official journal of the International Society for Twin Studies - 1 Aug 2006

Visscher Peter M

Abstract excerpt

When using maximum likelihood methods to estimate genetic and environmental components of (co)variance, it is common to test hypotheses using likelihood ratio tests, since such tests have desirable asymptotic properties. In particular, the standard likelihood ratio test statistic is assumed asymptotically to follow a chi2 distribution with degrees of freedom equal to the number of parameters tested. Using the...
