Under a condition of degeneracy, different from the degeneracy condition in uncensored models, it has an asymptotic nonnormal distribution.

Polylocus linkage analysis methods are modified two-point analyses which aim to approach the information gain of multilocus analysis. Terwilliger and Ott [( 1992) Am JHum Genet 5 1 :A202, (1993) Genet Epidemiol10:477-482] put forth two such methods. This paper presents asymptotic approximations to t
