Abstract excerpt
Cases of interest using affected sib-pair methods to distinguish between recessive and additive (dominant) modes of inheritance of a disease-predisposing gene involve goodness-of-fit tests with a small expected number in the "share-zero parental haplotypes" category, as well as an unknown parameter, the frequency of the disease-predisposing allele. Our simulations demonstrate that the real significance level of...
