## Abstract The genetic dissection of quantitative traits, or endophenotypes, usually involves genetic linkage or association analysis in pedigrees and subsequent fine mapping association analysis in the population. The ascertainment procedure for quantitative traits often results in unequal varian
## Abstract Association mapping based on family studies can identify genes that influence complex human traits while providing protection against population stratification. Because no gene is likely to have a very large effect on a complex trait, most family studies have limited power. Among the co
Brownian motions are useful in modeling many stochastic phenomena. We address the problem of default testing for the sign of the drift, if any, in the mean of the process using the Bayesian approach. Conventional Bayes factors for hypotheses testing, however, cannot typically accommodate the use of
