## Abstract In testing genetic linkage using large or complex pedigrees, robust methods may be preferred to the Lod‐score method. The affected‐pedigree‐member method is robust but does not use the information available in nonaffected subjects, which results in a loss of power. We propose a new test

The weighted pairwise correlation (WPC) approach provides simple and flexible tests for genetic linkage which may be adapted to qualitative, quantitative, or agedependent traits. These tests also seem to have good power. However, when working with large pedigrees, a disease susceptibility gene not l

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 Identification of genes involved in complex traits by traditional (lod score) linkage analysis is difficult due to many complicating factors. An unfortunate drawback of non‐parametric procedures in general, though, is their low power to detect genetic effects. Recently, Dudoit and Speed
