Abstract excerpt
Consistent parameter estimates of quantitative trait loci linked to genetic markers can be derived by maximum likelihood methodology. For many experimental designs of interest, parameter estimates and their standard errors can be obtained by program LE of BMDP, which uses the Newton-Raphson metho...
