## Abstract We propose a new method of linkage analysis based on using the grade of membership scores resulting from fuzzy clustering procedures to define new dependent variables for the various HasemanβElston approaches. For a single continuous trait with low heritability, the aim was to identify

proposed a regression-based TDT method for quantitative traits consisting of regressing the trait on the parental transmission of a marker allele. Zhu and Elston [2000] also developed a TDT method for quantitative traits by defining a linear transformation to condition out founder information. Both
A more powerful robust test for linkage is developed from the methodology of Haseman and Elston [Behav Genet 2(1):3-19, 19721. This new robust test uses weighted least-squares (WLS) methods to detect linkage between a quantitative trait and a polymorphic marker. For comparison, the characteristics o
