Although the title of this lecture is “linkage analysis” it is going to be mostly about computing probabilities. Linkage analysis can be performed for a variety of species. We will concentrate on the case where the individuals in the pedigree are humans. Human pedigrees present some unique problems in that the data is often incomplete. In particular some individuals may be unobserved, or the tr...

In this talk we give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz’s identity, a new proof of the q-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg’s Hankel q-Stirling determinantal identity. We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function versi...
