The formulation of likelihood functions for multivariate genetic traits in humans is discussed, and exact computing formulas presented for families and simple pedigrees. The model described incorporates all the features of the original ELSTON and STEWART (1971) formulation and t h a t of LANGE et al

## Abstract We investigate a Bayesian approach to modelling the statistical association between markers at multiple loci and multivariate quantitative traits. In particular, we describe the use of Bayesian Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) whereby genotypes at the different loci are allowed to
Multivariate random length data occur when we observe multiple measurements of a quantitative variable and the variable number of these measurements is also an observed outcome for each experimental unit. For example, for a patient with coronary artery disease, we may observe a number of lesions in
