Locus-specific sibling relative risk is often estimated using affected-sib-pair lod score analysis of affected sibships and may be used to decide whether to continue or discontinue the search for additional susceptibility genes. We showed that relative-risk estimates obtained using affected-sib-pair

## Abstract Sample attrition is a potential source of selection bias in experimental, as well as non‐experimental programme evaluation. For labour market outcomes, such as employment status and earnings, missing data problems caused by attrition can be circumvented by the collection of follow‐up da

The direct effect of a treatment on some outcome is that part of the treatment's effect not referred through a specified covariate intermediate on the pathway between treatment and outcome. Such direct effects are often of primary interest in a data analysis. Unfortunately, standard methods of analy
