Abstract excerpt
DeFries and Fulker's (Behav. Genet. 15, 467-473, 1985) regression procedure (DF analysis) to estimate c2 and h2 was originally applied to selected twin data. Since then, DF analysis has been applied more broadly in unselected data and with multiple (nontwin) kinship levels. Theoretical work based...
