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. …

Estimating Familial Correlations Using a Kotz Type Density
<p>Two useful familial correlations often used to study the resemblance between the family members are the sib-sib correlation (ρ<sub><em>ss</em></sub>) and the mom-sib or parent-sib correlation (ρ<sub><em>ps</em></sub>). Since their introduction early in the last century by Galton, Fisher and …

A Study of Relationships Between Family Members Using Familial Correlations
<p>Familial correlations measure the resemblance between family members and are used in many fields of study including epidemiology, genetics, heredity, and psychology. Here, an analysis of familial correlations where male and female children of the same family can have different correlations in …

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 …
