The MORGAN package of programs is compared to a commonly used package, PAP, with respect to model selection in segregation analysis of a quantitative trait. MORGAN uses Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) methods to estimate the likelihood, whereas both versions of PAP used employ an approximation to th

Monte Carlo methods for linkage and segregation analysis are applied to the HGARl pedigree. To address these data, the methods are extended in several ways. The results are compared with those provided by PAP.
In view of the cumbersome and often intractable numerical integrations required for a full likelihood analysis, several suggestions have been made recently for approximate inference in generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs). Two closely related approximate methods are the penalized quasi-likelihood
The variance components/major locus model encompasses a major locus, a polygenic component, and shared environmental effects. The model attributes familial correlations to polygenic and shared environmental effects when testing for major locus inheritance or accounts for the major locus when estimat
We study the asymptotics of maximum-likelihood ratio-type statistics for testing a sequence of observations for no change in parameters against a possible change while some nuisance parameters remain constant over time. We obtain extreme value as well as Gaussian-type approximations for the likeliho
