## Abstract In biometrical genetic analyses of binary traits, the use of family data overcomes some limitations of twin studies, particularly in terms of sample size and types of genetic or environmental factors that can be estimated. However, because of computational problems, recent methods in th
The analysis of family data is described for qualitative multifactorial traits. For such a trait, affectational status is determined by an underlying liability distribution with one or more thresholds. The distribution of families (either selected at random or through probands) is used to estimate s
