Dear John: Weir, BS 1996 Genetic Data Analysis II . Sinaur Associates, Sunderland, MA,; should get you started for methods in population genetics (other reference could be the Arlequin's manual : [1]http://cmpg.unibe.ch/software/arlequin3/) However, you are probably interested in variance components for quantitative genetics (half-full sibs, mother-progeny correlations, etc.). In such a case, you could take a look at Lynch & Walsh book [2]http://www.amazon.com/Genetics-Analysis-Quantitative-Traits-Michael/dp/08 78934812 Hope this helps Pablo John Sorkin escribió:
Please forgive the cross posting. I sent this to Medstats and have not received any response. I am looking for a good written explanation of components of variance (a.k.a va riance components), in particular as they are used in genetic analyses. Does an yone have a suggestion? I am interested in books, articles and on-line material . I intent to give the material to some of my students none of whom are statist icians, they are all physicians or Ph.D.s in life sciences.
