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 wa...
