LISREL analysis of twin data with structured means.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is introduced to test the hypothesis that both the phenotypic means and the phenotypic covariances can be modeled with the same common genetic and environmental factors. LISREL can be used to implement the method. An illustration is given with simulated twin data.

Decomposition of multivariate phenotypic means in multigroup genetic covariance structure analysis.
Observed differences in phenotypic means between groups such as parents and their offspring or male and female twins can be decomposed into genetic and environmental components. The decomposition is based on the assumption that the difference in phenotypic means is due to a difference in the location of the normal genetic and environmental distributions underlying the phenotypic individual diff...
متن کاملThe genetic analysis of repeated measures. I. Simplex models.
The well-known simplex model is extended to a model that may be used for the genetic and environmental analysis of covariance structures. This "double" simplex structure can be specified as a LISREL model. It is shown that data which give rise to a simplex correlation structure, such as repeated-measures data, do not fit a factor-analysis model. The parameter estimation of the simplex model is ...
متن کاملFactors affecting the acquisition of expert tacit knowledge Case study: Delivery time in twin pregnancy
This paper discovers the necessary variables need for creating models for tacit knowledge acquisition, especially in medical care services. The case studied here, was knowledge of diagnosing and time of delivery in twin pregnancy with nuchal translucency screening. This paper covers the empirical work undertaken on semi-structured interview based on thematic analysis. With regard of theoretical...
متن کاملUsing LISREL to analyze genetic and environmental covariance structure.
Martin and Eaves (1977) developed a method for the analysis of genotypic and environmental covariance structure based on the work of J6reskog (1973). Their method is a general approach to the analysis of covariance structure which allows simultaneous testing of hypotheses about the sources and structure of covariation. The method provides maximumlikelihood estimates of genetical and environment...
متن کاملLatent variable growth within behavior genetic models.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce one kind of latent-variable structural-equation model for multivariate longitudinal data which includes behavioral genetic components. A generic structural-equation model termed RAM (McArdle, J. J. and McDonald, R. P. (1984). Br. J. Math. Stat. Psychol . , 37:239~251.) is used to define the univariate twin design, including both covariances and means. T...
