A generalized estimating equations approach to fitting major gene models in segregation analysis of continuous phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

This paper discusses the application of estimating equations methods based on a quadratic exponential model [Prentice and Zhao, 1991] as a potential competitor with full likelihood approaches to estimating the effect of major genes in a segregation analysis [Elston, 1981] of continuous phenotypes, in the single allele problem. We show that while the estimating equations methods based on the quadratic exponential...
