Estimating equations are used to develop simple non-iterative estimates of the κ-coefficient that can be used when there are more than two random raters and/or unbalanced data (each subject is not ...

This article considers inference about the variance of coefficients in time-varying parameter models with stationary regressors. The Gaussian maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) has a large point mass ...

Models to estimate heritability (twin or SNP h2) are typically linear models that can be seen as extensions of the simple linear model between two variables, from which one estimates a correlation.

This section covers Twin and SNP heritability, h2 from whole genome sequencing, non-additive genetic effects and GWAS approaches. To better compare and understand the different approaches and models ...
