Many studies are done in small isolated populations and populations where marriages between relatives are encouraged. In this paper, we point out some problems with applying the maximum lod score (MLS) method (Risch, [1990] Am. J. Hum. Genet. 46:242-253) in these populations where relationships exis

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
## Abstract This study compared the performance of the maximum lod (MLOD), maximum heterogeneity lod (MHLOD), maximum nonβparametric linkage score (MNPL), maximum Kong and Cox linear extension (MKC~lin~) of NPL, and maximum Kong and Cox exponential extension (MKC~exp~) of NPL as calculated in Geneh
