## Abstract This paper discusses the application of estimating equations methods based on a quadratic exponential model [Prentice and Zhao, 1991] as a potential competitor with full likelihood approaches to estimating the effect of major genes in a segregation analysis [Elston, 1981] of continuous

β¦ Synopsis
The use of generalized estimating equations (GEE) [Liang and Zeger, 19861 is explored as a potential alternative to maximum likelihood methods for segregation analysis of continuous phenotypes. We discuss the number of sample moments required by GEE to estimate parameters in simple major gene models, and the computational burden of the GEE methods applied to large pedigrees.

It is widely acknowledged that the analysis of comparative data from related species should be performed taking into account their phylogenetic relationships. We introduce a new method, based on the use of generalized estimating equations (GEE), for the analysis of comparative data. The principle is
## Abstract Genomeβwide association (GWA) study is becoming a powerful tool in deciphering genetic basis of complex human diseases/traits. Currently, the univariate analysis is the most commonly used method to identify genes associated with a certain disease/phenotype under study. A major limitatio
Repeated measures allow additional tests of common assumptions in twin correlation analysis. Analysis of log serum triglyceride level in NHLBI male twins using generalized estimating equations disclosed that the mean and variance shifted across exams, presumably because of changes in laboratory prac
Sustained oscillations have been observed in continuous cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These oscillations appear spontaneously under aerobic conditions and may constitute a severe limitation for process control. We have found that oscillations arise only in a well defined range of dilution ra
