Abstract excerpt
Linkage analysis in multivariate or longitudinal context presents both statistical and computational challenges. The permutation test can be used to avoid some of the statistical challenges, but it substantially adds to the computational burden. Utilizing the distributional dependencies between p (defined as the proportion of alleles at a locus that are identical by descent (IBD) for a pairs of relatives, at a...
