Pedigree disequilibrium tests for multilocus haplotypes.

abstract：:The restricted partition method (RPM) is a partitioning algorithm for examining multi-locus genotypes as (potentially non-additive) predictors of a quantitative trait. The motivating application was to develop a robust method to examine quantitative phenotypes for epistasis (gene-gene interactions), but the method can...
