Abstract excerpt
A simple approach to design and analysis of genome-wide linkage scans is described, based on an approximation to the joint distribution of likelihood ratio statistics at a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. The approximation is readily calculated and makes it feasible to study the test properties of a range of summary statistics for the entire sequence of point-wise test values. Both the...
