Efficient Unbiased Estimating Equations for Analyzing Structured Correlation Matrices
… an active area of research. For normal data, correlations fully quantify the dependence. And historically, maximum likelihood method has been very successful to estimate the correlations and unbiased estimating equation approach has become a popular alternative when there may be a departure …

Modeling and Efficient Estimation of Intra-Family Correlations
<p>Familial data occur when observations are taken on multiple members of the same family. Due to relationships between these members, both genetic and by cohabitation, their response variables will likely exhibit some form of dependence. Most of the existing literature models this dependence with …

Statistical analysis of familial correlations.
Inferences for familial (intraclass and interclass) correlations are considered for unbalanced familial data from multivariate normal populations. The most commonly used familial correlation is that between siblings (without regard to gender), called intraclass or sib-sib correlation coefficient. …
