In this lecture, the univariate twin model is extended to the bivariate twin model. It is explained how the variance in two traits is decomposed into additive genetic, non-additive genetic, and ...

Segregation analysis is a method of detecting major genes for quantitative traits without using marker information. It serves as an important tool in helping investigators to plan further studies such ...

We apply distortion functions to bivariate survival functions for nonnegative random variables. This leads to a natural extension of univariate distortion risk measures to the multivariate setting.
