The problem of compact, fully efficient representation of multilocus data has not yet been solved. Lod scores can be used to map multilocus data, but because of certain statistical problems, this method loses some information. However, simulation studies show that for distances less than 10 or 20 cM
In this paper we examine the relationships among classical lod scores, "wrod" scores (lod scores calculated under the wrong genetic model), and "mod" scores (lod scores maximized over genetic model parameters). We compare the behavior of these scores when the state of nature is linkage to their beha
The problem discussed is that of interpreting LOD scores when multiple markers are tested for linkage with a particular disease locus. Provided the tests are based on independent segregations, both the maximum and the average LOD can be translated into a score that would have the same significance l
