Abstract
The maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of heritability when data are available on both parents and offspring and the offspring data have a hierarchical structure is discussed. Computational forms are developed that are useful when the families of full-sibs and of half-sibs are of unequal sizes. Extensions to other variance component situations are discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
