## Abstract An improved sibβpair test for linkage is introduced which is superior to the previously proposed tests. The test is derived from the standard chiβsquared goodness of fit statistic by restricting the alternative hypothesis to the genetically possible. Critical values are given and exact

We compared the robustness of affected-sib-pair (ASP) tests for multiple-affected sibships. Forming all possible pairs increases the type I errors only slightly whereas the most used weighting procedures decrease the efficiency of the tests. Another weighting procedure accounting for the reduction o
Nick examines the problem of testing for linkage between a disease susceptibility locus and a marker locus for sib-pair data. Given a specified simple alternative for the parameters (pO, p I , p 2 ) of the multinomial distribution of (NO, N , , N2), where Nj denotes the number of sibs sharing exactl
For each marker locus and for every pair of sibs with data available in the 1983 workshop data, the proportion of genes identical by descent was estimated. The mean proportions were compared between concordant and discordant sib pairs, and the mean proportion for concordantly affected pairs was comp
