Abstract
SUMMARY: The method of heritability estimation proposed by Abplanalp (‘linear heritability’ estimation) is reviewed and the formulation simplified. It is equivalent to the regression of performance of sibs of an individual, itself excluded, on that of the individual. The method is found to be slightly biased in small samples but, in terms of sampling variance, can make efficient use of the data.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
