## Abstract Allison ([1997] Am. J. Hum. Genet. 60:676β690) proposed four versions of the transmissionβdisequilibrium test (TDT) for quantitative traits when there is __extremeβthreshold sampling__, i.e., the trios having an offspring trait value between a priori defined thresholds are excluded from
In most genetic studies in humans the variability in a quantitative trait is adjusted for variability in concomitants (age, sex, etc) using a single regression equation prior to analyses of pedigree data. To illustrate an alternative approach, a single locus genetic model was tested. This model inco
## Abstract Identification of genes involved in complex traits by traditional (lod score) linkage analysis is difficult due to many complicating factors. An unfortunate drawback of nonβparametric procedures in general, though, is their low power to detect genetic effects. Recently, Dudoit and Speed
