The use of generalized estimating equations (GEE) [Liang and Zeger, 1986] is explored as a potential alternative to maximum likelihood methods for segregation analysis of continuous phenotypes. We discuss the number of sample moments required by GEE to estimate parameters in simple major gene models, and the computational burden of the GEE methods applied to large pedigrees.
探讨使用广义估计方程(GEE)[梁和泽格,1986年]作为连续性状分离分析中最大似然法的潜在替代方法。我们讨论了GEE估计简单主基因模型参数所需的样本矩数量,以及应用于大型家系的GEE方法的计算负担。
