Model-Free Linkage Analysis of a Quantitative Trait.

Abstract excerpt

Model-free methods of linkage analysis for quantitative traits are a class of easily implemented, computationally efficient and statistically robust approaches to searching for linkage to a quantitative trait. By "model-free" we refer to methods of linkage analysis that do not fully specify a genetic model (i.e., the causal allele frequency, and penetrance functions). In this chapter we briefly survey the methods...
