Multivariate genetic analysis of twin-family data on fears: Mx models.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 1994

Neale M C, Walters E E, Eaves L J, Maes H H, Kendler K S

Abstract excerpt

We describe the implementation of multivariate models of familial resemblance with the Mx package. The structural equation models allow for the effects of assortative mating, additive and dominant genes, common and specific environment, and both genetic and cultural transmission between generations. Two approaches are compared: a correlational one based on Fulker and a factor model described by Phillips and...
