A Guide to QTL Mapping with R/qtlNon-normal phenotypes

A Guide to QTL Mapping with R/qtl: Non-normal phenotypes [The methods discussed in Chap. 4 all rely on the assumption that, given QTL genotype, the phenotype follows a normal distribution. This is not the same as to assume that the marginal phenotype distribution is normal—it will follow a mixture of normal distributions. But in the case that no QTL has very large effect, the marginal phenotype distribution would generally be close to normal: unimodal and reasonably symmetric.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The methods discussed in Chap. 4 all rely on the assumption that, given QTL genotype, the phenotype follows a normal distribution. This is not the same as to assume that the marginal phenotype distribution is normal—it will follow a mixture of normal distributions. But in the case that no QTL has very large effect, the marginal phenotype distribution would generally be close to normal: unimodal and reasonably symmetric.]
