Comparison of analysis of variance and maximum likelihood based path analysis of twin data: partitioning genetic and environmental sources of covariance.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1995

Christian J C, Norton J A, Sorbel J, Williams C J

Abstract excerpt

In order to investigate currently used model fitting strategies for twin data, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and path-maximum-likelihood (PATH-ML) methods of analyzing twin data were compared using simulation studies of 50 monozygotic (MZ) and 50 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs. Phenotypic covariance was partitioned into additive genetic effects (A), environmental effects common to cotwins (C), and environmental...
