  1. Observed versus expected distributions of linkage test statistics under varying conditions of disease allele and/or population heterogeneity in marker allele frequencies, based on 10,000 simulations of 100 families with the following configuration: 2 affected sibs, both sampled, and 2 unaffected sibs, both sampled, disease locus unlinked to markers (null model).
  2. emean multipoint paired test; fp-value of test that mean does not equal 0; gtwo populations modeled in an 80%/20% mixture: 1) marker allele frequencies for all markers [0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25], unlinked disease allele 0.0035; 2) marker alleles [0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25], unlinked disease allele 0.001; htwo populations modeled in an 80%/20% mixture: 1) marker allele frequencies for all markers [0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25], unlinked disease allele 0.003; 2) marker alleles [0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1], unlinked disease allele 0.003; itwo populations modeled in an 80%/20% mixture: 1) marker allele frequencies for all markers [0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25], unlinked disease allele 0.0035; 2) marker alleles [0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1], unlinked disease allele 0.001.
