In affected-sib-pair (ASP) studies, parameters such as the locus-specific sibling relative risk, lambda(s), may be estimated and used to decide whether or not to continue the search for susceptibility genes. Typically, a maximum likelihood point estimate of lambda(s) is given, but since this estimat

Confidence intervals for relative risk parameters estimated using affected-sib-pair data are derived and evaluated for two markers showing previous evidence of linkage to bipolar illness. For D18S41 we found some evidence, and for D18S37 stronger evidence, of relative risks greater than 1, although

Meta-analyses of data from epidemiological studies are often based on odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and their 95 per cent con"dence intervals (CIs) as reported by the authors. Where possible ORs, RRs and CIs should be checked against the source data. Some simple methods are presented for

An experiment to assess the efficacy of a particular treatment or process often produces dichotomous responses, either favourable or unfavourable. When we administer the treatment on two occasions to the same subjects, we often use McNemar's test to investigate the hypothesis of no difference in the
