A model-fitting implementation of the DeFries-Fulker model for selected twin data.

摘要

In this research note, DeFries-Fulker (DF) regression analysis is reframed in model-fitting terms, where an individual's expected score is modeled as a function of their co-twin's proband status. This more flexible implementation of the DF model allows DZ-O twins to be incorporated in a sex-limitation model. Brief simulation results are presented along with the Mx scripts used.
