Abstract excerpt
Effective analytical tools are highly desirable for data analysis and for making the biological link between genotypic and phenotypic measures. In family data it is important to reconcile the methods that explain the phenotypic variability through fixed genetic effects and ones that estimate variance components using classical heritability methods. Thus, in this paper, we propose a method based on added-variable...
