✦ Synopsis

Two methods of estimating linkage test power are proposed. The first method is based on the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of the recombination fraction and is intended for use with a likelihood ratio test (LRT) in the form of a x2 or lod score. The power is estimated through a noncentral x2 distribution with a specially chosen noncentrality parameter. The second method uses the LRT constructed for a simple alternative hypothesis regarding the recombination fraction value. The approximate distribution of this test and a method of estimating its power is proposed. Using simulated pedigree data, the power estimates for these two methods were shown to be satisfactory. Comparisons among these two methods and the computer simulation approach of Boehnke [ 19861 are performed.

## Abstract Variance component linkage analysis is commonly used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in general pedigrees. Large pedigrees are especially attractive for these studies because they provide greater power per genotyped individual than small pedigrees. We propose accurate and computat

## Abstract The aim of this study is to compare the power of the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) to that of the identity‐by‐descent (IBD) distribution test. The relative powers of these tests depend both on the underlying genetic model and on the available family data. Families with two affe
