After chapters on basic statistics, biometrical genetics,  matrix algebra and path analysis, there is a state-of-the-art account  of how to fit genetic models using the LISREL package. \u003cbr\u003e  The authors explain not only the assumptions of the twin method, but  how to test them. The elementary model is expanded to cover sex  limitation, sibling interaction, multivariate and longitudinal data,  observer ratings, and twin-family studies. Throughout, the methods are  illustrated by applications to diverse areas such as obesity, major  depression, alcohol comsumption, delinquency, allergies, and common  fears. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048141791\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8018-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 496\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398582333580,"sku":"9789048141791","price":297.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048141791.jpg?v=1755438194","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048141791","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
