✦ Synopsis

Estimation of parameters in a genetic model can be very difficult using likelihood theory when there is no concise functional form for the likelihood function. An alternative method bawd on fitting the characteristic function is suggested and this method may be used on data with consistent familial composition.

## Abstract Investigators interested in whether a disease aggregates in families often collect case‐control family data, which consist of disease status and covariate information for members of families selected via case or control probands. Here, we focus on the use of case‐control family data to

A size of error in observed data for fitting curves and an estimation problem due to multiple solutions in a two-compartment model were studied by using two different non-linear least-squares regression programs, SALS and NONLIN. It was found that bolus intravenous data have generally 5-10 per cent

The aim of this paper was to compare several methods of estimating the genetic components of a quantitative trait in familial data. The Expectation and Maximization (E-M) algorithm, the Newton-Raphson method, and the scoring method were compared for estimating polygenic and environmental effects on
