## Abstract Investigators interested in whether a disease aggregates in families often collect caseβcontrol 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 caseβcontrol family data to
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
The question of how to fit a general cubic model of a multicomponent, interactive growth system to observed data is addressed. A multidimensional-polynomial type of regression analysis is used, with a least-squares criterion. By testing the scheme on a problem with known solution, the way in which t
