we use a variance component model to handle familial relationships.In a sample of n individuals, we model the observed phenotype vector ('''y''') as a sum of covariate effects (specified by a design matrix '''X''' and a vector of covariate effects '''β'''), additive genetic effects (modeled in vector '''g''') and non-shared environmental effects (modeled in vector '''ε'''). Thus the null model is:
