− | we use a variance component model to handle familial relationships. In a sample of n individuals, we model the observed phenotype vector (<math>\mathbf{y}</math>) as a sum of covariate effects (specified by a design matrix <math>\mathbf{X}</math> and a vector of covariate effects <math>\boldsymbol{\beta}</math>), additive genetic effects (modeled in vector <math>\mathbf{g}</math>) and non-shared environmental effects (modeled in vector <math>\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}</math>). Thus the null model is: | + | we use a variance component model to handle familial relationships. The null model is: |
