## Abstract Variance‐component (VC) models are widely used for linkage and association mapping of quantitative trait loci in general human pedigrees. Traditional VC methods assume that the trait values within a family follow a multivariate normal distribution and are fully observed. These assumptio

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

## Abstract Many complex human diseases such as alcoholism and cancer are rated on ordinal scales. Well‐developed statistical methods for the genetic mapping of quantitative traits may not be appropriate for ordinal traits. We propose a class of variance‐component models for the joint linkage and a

Analysis of variance can be used to detect the linkage of segregating quantitative trait loci (QTLs) to molecular markers in outbred populations. Using independent full-sib families and assuming linkage equilibrium, equations to predict the power of detection of a QTL are described. These equations

## Abstract Two of the major approaches for linkage analysis with quantitative traits in humans include variance components and Haseman‐Elston regression. Previously, these were viewed as quite separate methods. We describe a general model, fit by use of generalized estimating equations (GEE), for
