A Note on Heritability 01 a Dichotomous Trait s. I?d hboratoire de Biombtrie, INRA, France summary h a random effects model for a diohotomous trait, we pqove that the heritability of the dichotomous trsit given in DEMPSTIKB & LEBNEB (1950) ie strictly smaller than the htzacieea correlation.

We propose an odds-ratio measure of twin association for a dichotomous trait. This odds ratio can be estimated without arbitrarily specifying an index twin and without estimating additional nuisance parameters. Tests of association and confidence intervals may be computed easily, in contrast to thos

By transforming dichotomous characters (for instance the presence or absence of a certain disease) to zero-one characters it is possible to estimate the variance and variance components. This paper explains the peculiarities occurring in the linear model and estimation functions and the application
