Exploring the HDL likelihood surface.

Abstract excerpt

Using random initial parameter estimates, three segregation analysis models of the inheritance of HDL2 in the Berkeley GAW8 data set were maximized 5000 times each. Initial parameter estimates were assumed to be uniformly distributed on intervals formed by parameter boundaries. The three models were unrestricted, environmental, and Mendelian regressive type A models. Likelihood ratio tests of the global maxima...
