Abstract：
:Relatives may tend to die of the same cause. A model is proposed specifying the degree of this association, simultaneously allowing for misclassification of cause of death. These mistakes usually degrade any existing correlation structure, the effects being marked when error rates reach between 20% to 30%. It is then that the search for associations becomes very difficult indeed, and results misleading. This is an example of a wider malaise that can afflict analysis of association, and the developments here apply to two-by-two contingency tables in general.

HUMAN BIOLOGY文献大全abstract：:Given that the evidence of a substantial genetic contribution to cognitive ability is now convincing, the next challenge is to locate and identify the genes involved. It is likely that there are several genes, each of only small effect. Detection of such so-called quantitative trait loci contributing to polygenic trai...
