There are numerous statistical methods for quantitative trait linkage analysis in human studies. An ideal such method would have high power to detect genetic loci contributing to the trait, would be robust to non-normality in the phenotype distribution, would be appropriate for general pedigrees, wo

## Abstract We present a unified approach to selection and linkage analysis of selected samples, for both quantitative and dichotomous complex traits. It is based on the score test for the variance attributable to the trait locus and applies to general pedigrees. The method is equivalent to regress

Sib-pair linkage studies are widely used to investigate the genetic factors implicated in complex quantitative traits. To analyze these data, we propose a Maximum-Likelihood-Binomial (MLB) approach, which considers the sibship as a whole and relies on the idea of binomial distributions of parental a
